The Scene
Few festivals can boast the alumni resume of Finland’s Ruisrock. Since the seventies, Ruisrock has hosted musical royalty like The Kinks, Lou Reed, Chuck Berry, Soundgarden, Aerosmith, Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Sting, and David Bowie. Taking place on the island of Ruissalo in Turku, this annual event continues to evolve bringing in not only rock, but metal, EDM, and Finnish artists.
