Provinssirock - Peek revisited

Again at the same spot than last year peeking over the fence. The festival's sunday evening's main act Slayer playing. I'm not, however, a big fan of Slayer.

As a bad quality bonus-photo, another shot from a same spot than last year. Some festival camping. Many people have already left, that why it seems so empty.

Benji Jumping and other stuff in Provinssirock

Provinssirock is here again. There are a lot of activities to take between the conserts. This girl took a benji jump. Provinssirock is one of the largest rock festivals in Finland. This year some of the main acts are: Nightwish, Slayer, Rise against and Billy Talent.

You can also enjoy some exotic foods like this "Herkku lautanen", "Delicious dish".

 A lot of stuff is sold. Here you can buy a helmet if you like, or a handbag.

Most of the people prefer camping as the mode of living. I guess it the mandatory part of festival life.

Provinssirock - Peek

As said earlier, I had no ticket to the festival. So I had to go and peek over the fence. This is System of a Down playing on the main stage. You have to believe me when I say that there's over 20 000 people between me and the stage. If you look closely you can see Serj Tankian on the screen.

And by request here is a bonus shot of the food platters

Provinssirock - Festival food

Sausage and fries, Kebab and fries, Chicken and rice etc...festival food at it's best.

Provinssirock - Near main gate

Had to go to a work trip today, so this is a quick one taken in the evening. This is near the main gate of provinssirock. Bands are playing so not so crowded here at the moment.

Provinssirock - Settling down

People are starting to settle down in provinssirock's camping areas. Thousands of people will arrive for the weekend. Many are staying in tents, campers and vans. I believe the hotels are also full. The festival has grown  tremendously in last fifteen years and the area where it is organized is getting too small. This year saturday and sunday are already sold out.

Provinssirock - Not having a ticket

The huge rock festival Provinssirock starts tomorrow here in Seinäjoki. I did not buy a ticket this year so there are not going to be any photoes of the bands. Instead I will try to post some photoes of the people and the atmosphere.

These butterflies are also related to the major rock event, Provinssirock taking place in the end of next week

Temporary Bridge

This is a temporary bridge, built by the finnish defence forces. One of the oldest (and also one of the biggest) rock festivals in Finland, Provinssirock, is being built behind that bridge. Some of the main bands this year are: System of a down, Avenged Sevenfold and Volbeat. There are alltogether about 50 bands playing in four stages in the end of next week.
