Festival area
[edit]The first Weekend Festival took place in Luukki, Espoo in 2012.[1] Luukki Recreational Area is located 23 km from the centre of Helsinki, Finland. The heart of Luukki, which is one of the most popular outdoor recreation areas in the Helsinki region, is an old manor. The area includes 20 hectares of forest inhabited by flying squirrels.[3] The festival area featured three stages: NRJ Stage, Weekend Stage and Party Stage. There was also a camping area.
Following the traffic difficulties in 2012, the festival was moved from the green Luukki forests to a more urban Kyläsaari/Kalasatama Festival area in 2013. The festival area in Kyläsaari/Kalasatama is four metro stops away from the Helsinki Railway Station and also easily reachable on bus, bike or foot. Kalasatama Festival area has hosted in past various bigger concerts and festivals including Sonisphere 2011, Foo Fighters and Green Day.[4] Weekend Festival 2013 had four stages: NRJ Stage, Weekend Stage (tent), Future Stage and Galaxy Stage. Future Stage was located at the Kyläsaari harbour. The festival area in Kyläsaari does not feature a camping ground.
In 2015, Weekend Festival Baltic also took place on Pärnu beach, Estonia, with three stages. The last festival in Estonia took place in 2018. On 27.02.2019 the Weekend Festival Baltic OÜ, the organizer of the Estonian festival, was declared bankruptcy.[5]
In 2018 the festival moved to Hietaniemi beach and expanded to a 3-day festival.
In 2020, due to the corona pandemic, Weekend Festival 2020, planned to Käpylä Sports Park in Helsinki, was canceled.[6]
