The story

Sounds of Luosto in Sodankyla/Luosto

Sounds of Luosto stages classical concerts across the Lapland fell areas of Luosto and Pyhä and the historic old church in Sodankylä, including performances at the natural Ukko-Luosto amphitheater and along the Kitinen riverbank. A dedicated bus service connects venues from Lapland Hotels Luostotunturi. It suits travelers wanting classical music built specifically around Lapland's wilderness terrain rather than a conventional concert hall setting.

Sounds of Luosto, known in Finnish as Luosto soi, stages classical music concerts against the fell landscape of Lapland, spreading its programme across the Luosto and Pyhä fell areas and the historic old church in Sodankylä rather than confining performances to a single indoor venue.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Staging concerts at the natural amphitheater atop Ukko-Luosto and along the banks of the Kitinen river gives Sounds of Luosto a genuinely site-specific character, using Lapland's own fell and riverside terrain as the concert setting rather than adapting the landscape to a standard stage format

02

The mystery stays covered

Its pre-festival tradition of touring artists performing informal preview excerpts throughout the surrounding region the day before the main programme begins extends the festival's reach to locals and travelers beyond ticketed concertgoers

03

The city starts moving

Running a dedicated bus service from Lapland Hotels Luostotunturi to reach fell-top and riverside venues reflects the genuine logistical planning needed to bring audiences safely across wilderness terrain that no city-based festival requires
