H2Ö 2016

After two successful years, H2Ö Festival is arranged this year on July 22nd–23rd at the Ruissalo dockyard in Turku, Finland.

H2Ö will over again fill the maritime, industrial-romantic dockyard milieu with hard-core representatives of Finnish alternative music and intriguing international underground gems, without any genre restrictions. On top of the diverse music, the old carpentry shop area will be coloured with a vast multi-artistic programme: performances, installations, workshops, street art et cetera will be included.

Have a look at the beautiful festival photos from last year in the photo gallery. Press releases and printable photos are available on the media page.
