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 2022!

☆LEVITATION STATION HARD☆
Despite most of the hard dance music imagery, band and tune names might seem serious and intimidating to the fun loving forest freak, the fact is, that hard dance action is all about crazy fun. Our esteemed guests from abroad, Greg Peaks, Cyrax and Transcend are jolly old chaps who are all about damn fine sounds and cheerful shenanigans.
In addition to his Transcend set, James Kitcher will also be performing a set with his own name, which will be most likely the finest, purest trance we've ever heard in Kosmos Festival.
As usual, Levitation Station's hard night will offer a range of FINRG experiences from Carbon Based's live set - always a threat/possibility type of affair - to Decion, Substanced and some no-frills freeform and hardcore that will surely shake the pinecones down from the trees. Another interesting pick from the lineup is D&J, a beautiful couple of hard working dj's and promoters who are making waves in many areas in the Finnish scene.
Put on your best dancing shoes, polish those tri poloskis and join us at Levari for mad fun times!💚

☆ASTEROID STAGE - SUOMISAUNDI☆
No forest festival is complete without a healthy dose of traditional spugedelic trancepulputus from our local scene. For the second year now, Asteroid stage is hosting two nights full of Suomisoundi! You can believe it will be absolutely spugetaculöör.
The music is going to be a collection of the wildest bleeps and blööps you never heard! There is a performance from the venerable ancient Suomisaundi super-group - The Sebastians - formed by Sebastian jr, Sebastian and Sebastian sr (who is celebrating years gone by and years ahead, 20 at least). Prepare yourself for an unbelievable trip when these guys take the stage and play not only together but their own projects for hours. “Silence is gold, sudokus are silver.”
Another very sexy special guest is long time-no-seen Tres Lost Amigos! These masterminds are coming back funkier and crazier than ever before. Alongside Tres Lost Amigos comeback show there will be a debut show from Svampyr, which we will not link to you because there is no internet evidence of it existing. We've heard stories that it’s makes the floor boogie and hips will be misplaced from the groove.
But wait, it doesn’t stop there! Moss-covered suomiveterans Club Kooma will blow your mind with their crazy guitar tunes and twisted-up melodies. The other master from Club Kooma – Leo Lemonslide – will also perform his new collaboration with Trip La Espresso: Dopeda. That can’t not be bad.
So what are you contemplating? Lace your boots and brew a kaffeplörö to prepare for the ultimate suomitrance -experience in Asteroid -stage, Kosmos Festival 2022!🌲🌳💫🪐
