Festival organisers frustrated by lack of clarity over summer rules
Time is running short for final decisions on major music events such as Ruisrock and Flow Festival.
Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny drew large crowds to Ruisrock in 2019. Last year the event was cancelled for the first time since 1970.

Event organisers have criticised the government s proposal regarding summer events as too vague. According to a cabinet proposal unveiled on Friday, public events could start in a limited way in June if health safety can be ensured. In July, further restrictions would be lifted.
One of Finland s oldest and largest music events, Ruisrock Festival plans to announce in the coming weeks whether the festival will be held as planned in July. The festival arrangements will be made, at least for the time being, so that the event can be organised as planned in Ruissalo, Turku.
