THE GATHERING
OF ELECTRONIC TRIBES 2023
Kosmos Festival
As snow covers Finland, the land of 187,888 lakes, nature braces itself for yet another cycle of deep frost and piercing gusts of northern winds. As do people: we gather around warmth and work on our arts, crafts and other tricks aimed for the sweet summer shenanigans, the time when we shed our winter cocoons and go back to the forest to play music and dance.
Kosmos Festival is a gathering of a wide variety of people. Hypnotic techno shakes hands with freaky suomisoundi. The chill stage has been one of the biggest successes every year. Not a day goes by without next level drum’n’bass or breakbeat. We try not to call any stage ’main’, but as a result of natural force, the psy-forest-womb that is Vortex stage is the beating heart of the dancing Kosmos, showcasing a stylish, strong lineup that is hand picked for the deep forest setting.
Located in the beautiful Finnish countryside, the road to Kosmos is an experience in itself. After a 2-3 hour drive from our nations capital, Helsinki, you will arrive in the lake district of Finland where a couple of extra days around the festival for relaxation would not go amiss. The locals are delighted to see festival people around the area, and it is always a great idea to test the local delicacies of family bakeries and farms.
The festival itself provides three days of music, art, workshops, circus, damn fine woods, sweet crazy beautiful people and some of the best festival food around. Tickets usually sell quite fast, so it is suggested to catch them while you can. Camping in the area is a lot of fun, with a lake at walking distance and, of course, the Finnish Sauna.
Kosmos is a family grown around the best beats and squelches we know of. It is an extension to, or a fruit, of life long friendships. We are borne of a very special dance culture, and we would like to welcome You all to share it with us in Kosmos Festival 2023!

COSMIC CIRCUS
What's better than lazily hanging around the festival grounds, with some fleeting dance moments at random stages in between... Well we're glad you asked, as we think getting active with likeminded people and learning new circus skills of course!
The Cosmic Circus is about a whole lineup of performances with dj's creating a magical vibe near the main bazaar area, as well as open training and learning with the community in the beach area. With skills and acts ranging from making humongous bubbles to elemental alchemy performances, there is something for everyone and surely more.
You are absolutely, wholeheartedly and positively welcome to enjoy, learn, share, perform and just have fun with the Cosmic Circus community in Kosmos Festival 2023!

ASTEROID
The stage that will put your ass on steroids, home of space rock bands and original spugedelic suomisoundi grooves. The lineup is full of first grade weirdness and ultimate skills of melodic confusion.
We are going to be treated with a special Shiwa 2000 set, featuring the one and only Rautaperse from Notkea Rotta fame. Oikeusjyvä will provide us with some rare treats, as well as Pavel Swimba, who will sprinkle 20 years of music on us.
Live bands offer diversity from the folk numbers of Nummiranta and 70’s style proto-metal played by Green King. Naturally there will also be a whole load of modern psychedelic rock by Jupiter, Polymoon and Kaleidobolt.
