Lavat (2026)

On this page you will find all the stages of the festival and their technical information.

At the Kaustinen Folk Music Festival, there are 26 stages in the festival park and each of them is unique. The happiest days of summer stretch from the festival park to the heartfelt of the village meeting places and musicians can also delight the elderly in the assisted living facility with a call. You can find these pallets in Kaustinen visit the village.

We would like the performances to be fully acoustic if possible. Without exception, the volume must be kept at the level of acoustic music, even when using your own sound system.

On the Kaustinen festival grounds, there are radios used by authorities as well as frequency-coordinated wireless microphones and in-ear monitors reserved for official festival use.

  • For this reason own wireless microphones, instrument transmitters, and
    The use of ear-drums is absolutely prohibited.
