finnish-festival-in-360

LiveFinland, the ultimate website for live music in Finland, now offers a brilliant way to make virtual visits to Finnish festivals. Panoramic 360 degree images take the traveller right into the middle of the event, close-up to the band and the festival audience.

Check out the gallery from the Qstock Festival 2014 in Oulu, and enjoy a 360 degree experience of Megadeth, Soilwork, Volbeat, and Finnish rock and metal performers like Michael Monroe, The 69 Eyes and Stam1na.

Previously, festival photographers concentrated on capturing artists and bands while playing. Nowadays, the ever-growing selfie culture has made pictures of festival audiences increasingly popular.

“We are excited to see our users’ reactions. Now they can actually feel the atmosphere of a Finnish festival on their computers and mobile-device displays, just as if they were in the middle of the real event themselves,” says LiveFinland’s producer Olga Bloch. “In the future, LiveFinland will be introducing more Finnish festivals in 360 degree panoramas.”

The Qstock 360 panoramic pictures were taken by Teppo Kangas, a Finnish photographer specialized in shooting panoramic photos and videos. These 360 degree images can be viewed on a computer, tablet device or smartphone, and you can zoom in on even the smallest detail.

This summer the Finnish tourism and music industries have joined forces to create LiveFinland – an online service that: makes music travel to Finland easier; showcases Finland as a music-travel destination; and promotes Finnish popular music to the rest the world.

LiveFinland lets travellers buy concert tickets and accommodation with a couple of mouse clicks, along with city walking tours of Finnish rock music and pop-culture sites. It also provides useful information and articles about traveling to Finland, and about Finnish music, events and venues.

Now, LiveFinland has launched a music-video channel showcasing the Finnish acts of the moment. LiveFinland will use the channel to reach everyone who is interested in Finnish music and in new experiences, as well as profiling Finnish music makers for the music business globally.

The Finnish travel sector and music industry have responded to this new project with great enthusiasm and high hopes for the future. For international tourists LiveFinland has created a brand new vision of Finland and its popular culture – much of it hidden until recently – as well as the simplest way for music tourists to book and buy tickets. The global music industry can now get up-to-date information on forthcoming music events, festivals, bands, and venues in Finland, as well as professional services for promoting, publicizing, contacting and consulting with the Finnish music industry. LiveFinland has been made by Finnish music-business professionals with the help and support of the rest of Finnish music business.
