Sounds of Luosto

The Sounds of Luosto festival will be organized in the Lappish landscape on Luosto, Pyhä, and in Sodankylä. Concerts will be held in places like the natural amphitheater of Ukko-Luosto and the banks of the river Kitinen, as well as Sodankylä’s historic old church.

The theme of 2024 is Echoes of History. On offer is a highly varied program of orchestra, chamber, and performance of familiar classics, connections with folk music, contemporary music, and forgotten masterpieces, as well as the traditional saloon concert!
Transportation to concert venues will be provided by a bus that departs from Lapland Hotels Luostotunturi. Tickets for this bus can be purchased from the Festival Office, located inside the hotel. Tickets: Ticketmaster.fi
