Steelfest Open Air takes place from May 13 to 15, 2027 in Hyvinkää, a city around 60 kilometers north of Helsinki in Finland.

Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
The complete 2027 lineup is being announced gradually by the organisers in the months leading up to the festival. Traditionally, the programme runs across three days, with several black and death metal acts performing each evening. Detailed set times are typically only released shortly before the event via the official steelfest.fi website.
Because the festival takes place inside Villatehdas, the overall atmosphere leans more toward an intense indoor, industrial setting than a typical open field festival experience.

The 2027 three day ticket is sold in several price tiers: the first 100 tickets cost 149 euros, then prices step up through 159, 169 and 179 euros, reaching 189 euros for the final tier.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Hyvinkää
- Hyvinkää sits about 60 kilometers north of Helsinki and is easily reachable by train from the capital
- Early to mid May can still be cool in Finland, so warm, weather appropriate clothing is recommended
- Since the festival takes place within the city itself, staying in Hyvinkää or planning a day trip from Helsinki both work well; booking accommodation early is advised
- The one entry per day policy generally means leaving the venue during a festival day will not allow re entry, so plan each day's schedule accordingly
- The event is strictly adults only (K18), so a valid ID should be carried at all times
