Sauna Open Air 2010, Tampere Finland (june 10-12)

It is almost getting a tradition to kick-off the open-air festival season in Finland with Sauna Open Air. With a line-up with KISS, Danzig, Death Angel, RATT, 69 Eyes and Sonata Arctica it is a super start of the season. And still more to be announced. The festival area of Sauna Open Air is located on the edge of the city Tampere and looking out over lake Pyhäjärvi.

Because Sauna open air is located in the city, the festivaldays are mostly ending around 10pm. But no need to go to bed, because there will be plenty of bands playing in clubs like Inferno and Amarillo. Also try to enjoy the traditional Finnish food like Muiku!! (= finnish smoked fish), which is also available on the festival area.

Check later for more info and confirmed bands...
