Ilosaarirock Festival 15th to 17th July 2011

All good things must come to an end, and that sadly goes for this year's Ilosaarirock Festival, too. After three days of great music, beautiful people and unforgettable events, our special thanks go to the people who made all this possible – you, our dear festival guests, that is.

To help you cope with the evident Post Festival Depression, loads of pictures, stories and other highlights of the weekend have been made available in the Festival Life section of this site to help you remember what a great time we had – and help you start preparing yourself for the next year's festival, taking place between 13 and 15 July, 2012. We can't wait to see you there!

All lost property considered valuable (mobile phones, wallets, etc.) have been sent to Joensuu Police Station. Your queries concerning lost property will be answered at +358 17 875 6333. The Joensuu Pop Musicians' Association deals with other, non-valuable lost property, and their dedicated hotline at +358 13 225 550 serves you until Friday 22 July between 9.00 am and 4.00 pm.

The finishing touches and the last artists have now been added to the Ilosaarirock Festival's line-up. Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the festival has the pleasure to host the legendary British ska act Madness and the American neo soul miracle man Cody ChesnuTT. Check the complete line-up and the schedules here.

Again this year, the beats of Tunnelmissa Reggae Disco, played by the best Finnish selectors, are yours to enjoy near the Rento stage. The moods at the disco vary from tender rocksteady rhythms all the way to quick and dirty dancehall tunes, while the songs can be anything from the very cornerstone songs of reggae to latest hit riddims. Come on, join the dance!

Again this year Ilosaarirock Festival weekend kicks off with Töminä Club which offers best punk and hardcore acts from Finland. Here you'll find the running order for Ilosaarirock 2011. This running order is not set in stone, but we hope this year there won't be any changes.

Volunteering is another way of experiencing Ilosaarirock Festival. We are still looking volunteer workers to make Ilosaarirock Festival happen. Read more how to apply to be a volunteer here.
