Music has always had the power to bring people together, and Formosa : Fest : Finland 2025 was built entirely around that idea. Serving as a cultural exchange between Finland and Taiwan, the event transformed Helsinki into a meeting place where visitors could discover not only music, but also food, traditions and communities from both countries.

On stage, the evening offered an equally diverse journey. Taiwanese acts Crescent Lament, Flesh Juicer and Chthonic shared the spotlight with Finnish metal exports Lost Society and Korpiklaani, creating a celebration of heavy music that transcended borders. Our photographer was there to capture some of the highlights from this unique event. Dive into the gallery below and relive a day where Finnish and Taiwanese cultures came together through the universal language of music.
