Music Festival Wizard is covering our first Finnish festival! For our inaugural festival, I chose Sideways in Helsinki because of their killer indie rock lineup and was not disappointed. Here’s just a few of the acts I caught this weekend, the atmosphere of the festival, and a few words I wrote about the weekend.
