It is also possible to arrange special opening hours, but preferably well in advance. Your visits to the Media Centre can be work-related, but you can also go there just to rest from the seething crowds.
At the Media Centre you will find three laptop spots with internet connections and two laptops with internet connection. The computers are meant mainly for writing articles and transferring photos. In case you need any extra devices, please contact the staff: if.kcoriraasoli@aidem / tel. +358 50 336 0195.
Media Centre is hosted by mr. Jouni Tirri

Interview requests for artists
Interview requests for both Finnish and foreign artists must be made directly to the artist's record company. You will find the contact information below. If necessary, the staff at Media Centre will forward requests to artists.
The media representatives do not have a direct access to the backstage artist areas. The VIP tent and the Media Centre, for example, are good places to arrange interviews in. The Media Centre staff will help in all possible ways with arranging times and places for interviews.
