📋About
Saimaa Punk Festivaali celebrates Finnish and international punk culture at Linnoituksen Kesäteatteri in Lappeenranta, Finland, on July 31-August 1, 2026. Irish legends DROPKICK MURPHYS bring explosive celtic punk blending folk punk, punk rock, and hardcore punk. The Finnish scene particularly shines through Terveet Kädet, pioneers of Nordic hardcore punk fusing punk and thrash metal, plus Rattus, Finnish hardcore punk legends. Rytmihäiriö explores crossover thrash and grindcore, while MDC represents politicized queercore. Pelle Miljoona brings veteran punk rock, Radiopuhelimet their energetic punk, and Kivesveto Go-Go their festive approach. Linnoituksen's outdoor theater creates a unique atmosphere where punk spirit meets Finnish nature for a weekend of authentic musical rebellion.
