Ilosaarirock Festival is an outdoor festival founded in 1971. There is no age limit to the festival, and the event takes place at Laulurinne in Joensuu (street address: Linnunlahdentie 3) at a lakeside close to the city centre. Ilosaarirock Festival is known for sunshine, the beautifully green festival area, fantastic atmosphere, smiling volunteers and the line-up, always chosen with taste and featuring the best acts representing various genres.

During the greatest weekend of the summer, the five stages host more than 60 artists, but the area also features film screenings, ping-pong games and DJ sets. The large camping sites and parking areas are located right next to the festival area, and the distance between your tent and the stages can be just a few metres. Ilosaarirock Festival focuses on food, drinks and relaxation. Our most important values are volunteering, environmental protection and our love for live music. A share of the profits goes to supporting local bands and artists.

Ilosaarirock Festival is a three-day weekend that begins on Friday night with separately sold Sulo and Töminä clubs. The two-day festival ticket is for Saturday and Sunday, when a huge variety of events fills up the entire festival area.

With its 50,000+ annual guests, Ilosaarirock Festival is one of the largest festivals in Finland. The event is organised by Joensuu Pop Musicians’ Association, a non-profit association founded on the idea of supporting live music.
