Info

Tickets are sold through Tiketti (opens in a new tab). This site has no ticket shop of its own.

Ticket types and prices are on the Tickets page.

Yes. Tickets are sold at the gate, card payment only. The fastest way in is to buy your ticket in advance from Tiketti.

Tickets are exchanged for wristbands at the festival main gate. Have your ticket and a valid photo ID ready when you arrive: the festival is 18+.

If you have a student, discount or other special ticket type, be prepared to show proof that you are entitled to use it.

Keep the wristband intact for the whole festival. Lost wristbands are not replaced.

Wristband exchange is at the main gate (Makasiininkatu 1) from 14:00 on Saturday. The Friday start time will be announced later.

We aim to arrange an advance exchange. The place and time will be announced later.

Two-day tickets have their own queue.

Yes. You can leave the festival area and come back during the same festival day as long as your wristband is intact.

Your wristband and ID may be checked again at the entrance, and the security check may be repeated when you return.

Yes. Two-day tickets have their own queue at the main gate.

The whole festival area is 18+. Be prepared to show a valid photo ID at the entrance. With a student ticket, also show your student card.

During the festival days there is also daytime side programme outside the 18+ area. Some of it is free and open to all ages; the age limit and price are stated separately for each experience.

Every festival ticket gives access to all three stages while the ticket is valid: Main Stage, Error 404 and Tech Lab. Stage capacity may limit entry when a venue is full.

Not all activities are included in the ticket. Experiences have their own producers and often their own price. Each experience states separately whether it is included in the festival ticket. See Experiences.

Artists and schedules may change. A single artist cancelling does not entitle you to a refund, because the festival ticket gives access to the whole festival experience, not to one performance.

If an artist cancels, we aim to replace them with the most suitable alternative and keep the overall programme strong.

A ticket can only be returned if the whole event is cancelled or moved to another date. In that case the return is made with Tiketti's return form, and the ticket price is refunded excluding Tiketti's order, service and delivery fees. Read more on the Tickets page and in Tiketti's return instructions (opens in a new tab).

Yes, the festival is intended to go ahead regardless of the weather.

Main Stage is outdoors, so the weather always plays a part. Error 404 and Tech Lab are indoors, which allows the event to continue even if the weather changes.

In case of severe weather or a safety risk, the festival may make changes to the schedule or programme.

Allowed:

• An empty plastic water bottle, max 0.5 l
• Small snacks such as bars and nuts
• Phone, wallet, keys, ID, clothing for the weather

Bags are checked at the entrance. The cloakroom is inside Albatrossi within the festival area, so there is nowhere outside the area to leave things before the gate.

• Glass bottles and cans
• Large amounts of food and your own drinks
• Aerosol cans (e.g. hairspray, spray deodorant)

Yes. You can take photos and videos for personal use with a phone or a small camera without a separate permit. Be considerate of other visitors, artists and staff, and do not film anyone in a way that violates their privacy or safety.

Professional camera equipment, video productions, drones, tripods and media photography require a separate permit. Send permit requests in advance to info@electricsunsets.fi.

Send media pass requests in advance by email to info@electricsunsets.fi. Include your name, the media you represent, your contact details, the purpose of your visit, the festival days you want and whether you are applying for photo, video or interview access.

Alcohol is served under Ravintola Albatrossi's licence. Elsewhere in the area you can carry your drink with you.

The restaurant ship Toivo (Tech Lab) is a separate licensed area: drinks cannot be taken onto or off the ship. Licensed areas will be marked on the area map.

The cloakroom is inside Ravintola Albatrossi within the festival area. There is no cloakroom outside the area, so you cannot leave things in storage before the gate check.

Cloakroom capacity is limited, so bring only what you need during the festival.

The cloakroom fee is €4.

Free drinking water is available at Ravintola Albatrossi. Water points are marked on the area map.

Tech Lab is a small space. Entry is first come, first served within capacity, and when the ship is full, people are let in as space frees up. The queueing arrangement when full will be specified later.

The first aid point is in the festival area. Its location is shown on the area map and the signs on site. You can also ask the nearest member of staff or security for help at any time.

If you lose something during the festival, contact the nearest member of staff or security. After the festival, ask about lost property at info@electricsunsets.fi.

The festival area is at Kuopio Harbour on the shore of Lake Kallavesi, around Ravintola Albatrossi.

The main gate address is Makasiininkatu 1, 70100 Kuopio, Finland. The gates open at 17:00 on Friday and at 15:00 on Saturday.

By bus: long-distance buses arrive at Kuopio travel centre (Matkakeskus) close to the city centre. From there it is about 1–1.5 km to the harbour depending on the route; continue on foot, by local bus, taxi, e-scooter or e-bike.

By train: trains arrive at Kuopio railway station, about 1.2 km from the harbour. Continue on foot, by local bus, taxi, e-scooter or e-bike.

By air: the nearest airport is Kuopio Airport (KUO) in Rissala, about 14 km from the city centre. From the airport, take a taxi, rental car or public transport to the centre and continue to the harbour.

Kuopio has e-bikes and e-scooters, and the local Biketaxi carries festival visitors for a fee. Allow enough time, especially at the busiest arrival times.

We do not recommend driving directly to the harbour area during the festival: it gets congested and parking near the festival area is limited. Park in the city centre and continue to the festival on foot or by another local means of transport.

The taxi rank is marked on the area map at the south-west corner of the area. The local Biketaxi also carries festival visitors for a fee.

The festival area is designed to be as accessible as possible. The outdoor area in the harbour is mostly flat, and the event is wheelchair accessible. Some indoor spaces, temporary structures and crowded spots may be harder to reach.

Main Stage: step-free access to the front of the stage and the viewing area.

Error 404 (Ravintola Albatrossi): step-free entrance.

Tech Lab (restaurant ship Toivo): the lower deck is not accessible.

Accessible routes will be marked on the area map. Stage-by-stage details are also on the Area page.

Yes. The accessible toilet is at Ravintola Albatrossi. No induction loop is available.

No. There is no raised viewing area or wheelchair platform.

Yes. A personal assistant enters free of charge with the person they assist, on the same ticket.

Wheelchair users and anyone needing special assistance are asked to contact info@electricsunsets.fi in advance so that arrival goes smoothly.

Send accessibility questions to info@electricsunsets.fi.

By email to info@electricsunsets.fi.

Email info@electricsunsets.fi. Tell us briefly about yourself, when you are available during the festival and what kind of tasks you are interested in.

Volunteer benefits depend on the role and the length and number of shifts. As a rule, volunteers who complete their agreed shifts receive festival access or other volunteer benefits. Details are given to selected volunteers.

There is no deposit system.

The festival develops more sustainable practices step by step. The focus is on recycling, reducing waste and encouraging visitors to arrive by public transport, bike or on foot. We work with partners, service providers and vendors on logistics, materials, food and drink services, energy use and keeping the area clean.

Help us keep the area tidy: use the sorting points and make responsible choices during the event. After the festival we collect feedback from visitors, staff and partners and improve based on it.
