Architecture in Helsinki Tour 08: Ankkarock

The rock festival that has been going as longer than any I can think of in Australia. It was a good chance to spend time with Juri, Heidi, Jarkko & Mr Wormhill. I recommend it to any international people who are in Helsinki-Vantaa area at the time of the festival. The people are in good sprits and really friendly no matter how much leather, studs or tattoos they are covered in. We were lucky to make friends with a bloke who had been drinking since 8am and had no real understanding of the English language apart from AC/DC & Angus Young…. “You from Australia? AC/DC” with fist pumping. The highlight was the Hives as they really know how to put on a stage show and interact with the audience. I will admit this was not the favourite act of 80% of the Finn’s as it was a bit more ‘girly’ rock for their liking.
