Overview
About
Founded in 2008 in Tampere, Blockfest has grown into the largest hip-hop festival in the Nordic countries, launched at a time when the genre had little presence in Finland. Over the years its lineups have brought together major rap and R&B names alongside Finnish artists, and the 2022 edition drew around 80,000 attendees.
