  <title>Flow Festival on 8 Aug 2012</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: Suvilahti

Helsingin Suvilahdessa järjestyksessään yhdeksättä kertaa 8.–12. elokuuta 2012 järjestettävä Flow Festival on julkistanut ensimmäiset esiintyjänsä. Islantilainen supertähti Björk tekee yhden harvoista Biophilia-kiertueensa esiintymisistä Flow'ssa festivaalisunnuntaina. Flow'n puolestaan avaa yhdysvaltalainen Bon Iver, joka valtaa Blue Tent -lavan keskiviikkona 8. elokuuta järjestettävässä avajaiskonsertissa. Lipunmyynti alkaa keskiviikkona 7. joulukuuta klo 9. Tuolloin myyntiin tulevat päivälipuista keskiviikon avajaiskonsertti ja sunnuntain lippu, sekä yhdistelmälipuista kolmen päivän festivaalilippu ja uutena lipputyyppinä neljän päivän festivaalilippu, joka sisältää sekä Flow-viikonlopun että avajaiskonsertin.

Björk Guðmundsdóttir on eräs aikamme suurista pop-ikoneista. Vahvana visionäärinä ja oman tiensä kulkijana tunnettu artisti aloitti soolouransa vuoden 1993 albumilla Debut, jolle on sittemmin muodostunut vankka klassikkostatus omaperäisenä mestariteoksena. Varhaisten levyjensä jälkeen Björkin musiikki on pysynyt alati innovatiivisena ja artistin nauttima arvostus on kasvanut tasaiseen tahtiin. Tuorein albumi, luonnon ja tieteen tematiikkaa käsittelevä Biophilia näki päivänvalon aiemmin kuluvana vuonna ja on ainutlaatuinen konseptiteos. Biophilia-projektiin kuuluu kehutun musiikin lisäksi mm. albumia varten valmistettuja instrumentteja, digitaalisia sovelluksia, koulutusworkshopeja sekä spektaakkelimainen live-esitys. Kesällä Björk lähtee albuminsa myötä julkaisukiertueelle, jossa kutakin maata kohden on valittu ainoastaan yksi esiintymispaikka. Björkin odotettu uusi show nähdään Suomessa ja Flow'ssa festivaalin päätöspäivänä 12. elokuuta.

Bon Iver on vuonna 2007 perustettu yhdysvaltalaisen laulaja-lauluntekijä Justin Vernonin johtama yhtye, joka on julkaissut kaksi kokopitkää albumia. Jo debyyttilevy For Emma, Forever Ago esitteli poikkeuksellisen persoonallisen ja lahjakkaan yhtyeen, jonka herkkää musiikillista estetiikkaa leimaa Vernonin tunnistettava laulu. Hiljattain julkaistu nimetön toinen levy syventää ensilevyn musiikillista antia, vieden Bon Iverin soundia edelleen monipuolisempaan suuntaan. Viime aikoina huimassa nousukiidossa olevan yhtyeen nokkamies Vernon oli myös vahvassa roolissa Kanye Westin yhteistyökumppanina Flow'ssakin vierailleen artistin edellisellä levyllä. Avajaiskonsertissa Bon Iver valtaa tunnelmaltaan intiimin Blue Tentin.

Flow Festivalin tapahtumapaikkana jatkaa vuodesta 2007 festivaalin kotikenttänä tunnettu Suvilahden vanha voimalaitosalue, joka laajenee entisestään. Flow-alueen viihtyvyyttä ja toimivuutta kehitetään ja myös festivaalin ohjelmatarjonta syvenee entisestään. Kokeellista musiikkia esittelevä The Other Sound -konsepti ja puheohjelma laajenevat festivaaliviikon torstaille, joten Flow koetaan ensi kertaa viisipäiväisenä.

Vuoden 2011 festivaalin yhteydessä vilkkaana käynyttä mustan pörssin lippukauppaa pyritään rajoittamaan uudella lippujen nimeämiskäytännöllä. Käytännön tavoitteena on taata festivaalilippujen mahdollisimman hyvä saatavuus normaalihintaan Tiketin myyntipisteissä.
