Electronic Music Superstars to Flow Festival’s Front Yard

17. MARCH 2026

Flow Festival has revealed a new wave of artists set to perform at Front Yard, the festival’s iconic open-air electronic music venue. Taking place 14–16 August, 2026, in Helsinki, Finland, the festival will once again bring together leading voices in contemporary club culture alongside the next generation of underground talent. The newly announced artists underline Flow’s longstanding commitment to electronic music and to the diverse global scenes shaping dancefloors today.

The Front Yard program will host a joint set from dubstep pioneers Skream and Benga, bringing together two of the architects of the genre’s South London roots. Their set revisits the raw energy and low-end pressure that helped shape UK bass music’s global influence, while reconnecting two artists whose collaborations defined a formative era of the sound. Also revealed is Interplanetary Criminal, whose stratospheric rise has played an intrinsic role in the resurgence of UK garage and bass music across the global club circuit.

Further additions include a special back-to-back set from Ben Klock and Fadi Mohem, uniting the Berghain resident with one of Berlin’s most promising new techno artists; Patrick Mason, known for his explosive hybrid DJ sets and commanding stage presence; French techno innovator Anetha; and DJ Gigola, whose genre-spanning sets have become a defining part of Berlin’s new underground scene.

These acts join hallowed names leading the program including Honey Dijon, whose sets celebrate the Black, queer roots of house music while bridging Chicago classics with modern techno intensity. Previously announced Irish producer KETTAMA, one of the fastest-rising names in modern techno, also heads up the expanded electronic program – known for his euphoric, high-energy productions and powerful club sets, KETTAMA has become a defining voice of the new European rave revival.

Flow Festival continues its long tradition of showcasing the breadth of Finland’s electronic music community. Among the local highlights is a special back-to-back from trance pioneer Orkidea and Helsinki DJ Lil Tony, two key figures in the country’s club culture.

They are joined by Paula Koski, Saffet, Boy Laundry, and Mr. A, alongside collaborative sets from Ozan b2b Katerina and €TOM b2b C4KE, reflecting the diversity of the contemporary Finnish underground.

Sunday at Front Yard will be curated by Korgy, a Helsinki-based club collective known for championing emerging electronic artists and experimental club sounds. The collective will present a series of performances including 2THEMAX b2b CEB b2b KEMIK, Noei, Sallidoing, and Lara Silva, highlighting the collaborative spirit of the city’s nightlife community.
