Wibes Festival 2024 brings its own unique blend to the upcoming summer festival scene! Wibes 2024 will be held at the naturally beautiful location of Narvilinna in Uusikaupunki, which proved to be excellent last year.
Continuing from where we left off in 2023, Wibes 2024 in August offers a wide range of different programs and activities in a picturesque environment.
Wibes is a festival concept dedicated specifically to rhythm music, providing an opportunity to enjoy a communal and nature-oriented festival atmosphere without asphalt dust and suffocating crowds. Wibes 2024 brings an intimate alternative to the festival lineup in the August air of Narvilinna, offering the perfect setting for an unforgettable weekend, savoring the last breaths of summer.
The festival’s music offerings are taken care of by the familiar stage concepts from last time:
Rytmilava, Sound System Arena, Club Loponen, and Wawahut Chillout.
Rytmilava serves up a full dose of live music to the beat of funky and heavy rhythm music. Soundsystem Arena brings together several pillars of Finland’s sound system culture with nightly changing sounds. At Club Loponen, festival-goers will dance into the sweaty summer night hours to the beats of techno, house, and drum’n’bass.
In addition to music, the festival program includes workshops and various low-threshold activities aimed at creating a more communal and diverse experience for the visitors.
The age limit for the festival is 18
Wibes Festival does not accept any kind of harassment, violence or discrimination! If you notice or are the target of disruptive behavior during the festival, report it to the Safer Space Host (you will recognize them by the pink vest), the security personnel or the staff (you will recognize them by the crew pass).
