Finland's first Creative Collision Festival
ODDfest is the first-ever festival at Lasipalatsikortteli, right in the center of Helsinki — happening June 6 – 7, 2025.
It’s what you get when you throw art, business & society into a blender…and hit the “weird but genius” button.
You can expect world-class artists and DJs, talks, panels, workshops & ideas that move society. Plus, art, AI, indie films & wild installations. One ticket gets you into it all: 16+ live music acts, 40+ speakers, 20+ creative showcases & afterparty on 7.6.
ODDfest is for anyone building the future of creativity – designers, developers, artists, performers, entrepreneurs, dreamers. If you crave Nordic oddity, inspiration & change, ODDfest is for you.
Our 2025 theme is Chaos & Acceleration. Because nothing new ever starts in perfect order.
