Tikkurila Festivaali

Tikkurila Festivaali 2026 runs Thursday 16 to Saturday 18 July at Hiekkaharju Sports Park in Vantaa, just outside Helsinki. The official festival site confirms the dates and a bill stacked with Finnish names: Käärijä, The Rasmus, Apulanta, Eppu Normaali and plenty more. It is an 18+ event, it runs on card payments, and it sits practically on top of a train station. In other words, a very easy festival to do well if you sort a few things in advance.

One of those things is where your stuff goes. Volt runs Event Lockers at over 120 festivals and events across Europe, and locker booking for Tikkurila Festivaali 2026 is already open. Here is everything else worth knowing.

The essentials

Wristband exchange opens before the festival at the Dixi shopping centre in Tikkurila, and at the gates on festival days. The times shift from day to day, so check the official info page before you head out.

Getting there is the easy part

The festival area sits right next to Hiekkaharju train station, and Tikkurila station is within walking distance too, according to the official FAQ. Coming from Helsinki, the train is the obvious move: you step off and you are more or less at the gate.

Driving is not. The festival says there is no parking near the event, and it recommends public transport, walking or cycling instead. If you ride, there is a bike and scooter park right next to the festival area, per the same FAQ.

Who plays in 2026

The bill announced on the official site includes Käärijä, The Rasmus, Apulanta, Eppu Normaali, Ellinoora, Elastinen, Nylon Beat, Arttu Wiskari, Happoradio, KUUMAA, Teflon Brothers, Pete Parkkonen and VESALA, among others. Day schedules live on the official programme page, which is the one to trust once set times land.

Event Lockers at Tikkurila Festivaali

This is a city festival with strict entry rules, so there is no camping pitch to dump things at. Everything you carry goes through a security check, and it goes through again every time you re-enter. The simple fix is to carry less. Drop a jacket, a spare powerbank, sunscreen and whatever you pick up at the merch stand into a locker and spend the day hands free.

Event Lockers for Tikkurila Festivaali 2026 are bookable now, and booking ahead beats hoping something is left on the day. If you want to know how they work at a festival, the Event Lockers service page has the details.

Keeping your phone alive

Your phone is your ticket wallet, your camera and your payment backup at gates that only take card. It has to last from the first act to the last train. Filming on your own phone is allowed, unlike professional cameras, so it will be out of your pocket a lot (official FAQ).

Arrive charged and plan for a top-up. Where Volt runs the Volt Charging Service at a festival, you rent a Volt-Charger at a staffed booth and swap it for a fresh one once a day, so you never stand guard over a wall socket. Check the Tikkurila Festivaali presale collection for what is bookable for this event. Lockers are live there now, and a locker with a charged powerbank waiting inside is a solid plan B in any case.

What you can and cannot bring

The official security page keeps it strict. Glass, cans and any liquids stay outside, along with your own drinks, umbrellas, folding chairs, selfie sticks, portable speakers, tablets and drones. You can bring an empty 0.5 litre plastic bottle to fill with drinking water inside, and small snacks like energy bars are fine.

There is no stated bag size limit, but between the re-entry checks and the July heat, lighter is better. If you will not need it in the next few hours, it belongs at home or in a locker.

Quick answers

Is Tikkurila Festivaali 18+?

Can I leave the festival area and come back?
