Kuopiorock

Kuopiorock (also Kuopio Rockcock or simply Rockcock) is a Finnish two- to three-day rock music festival held annually in Väinölänniemi, Kuopio, at the turn of July and August.

[1] In 2012, the event celebrated its 10th anniversary and the festival was held on 27–28 July.

In addition, several club gigs will be played around the city of Kuopio and a band race will be held in early summer, with the winner getting to perform in Rockcock.

By 2007, the festival's event area expanded to include large Väinölänniemi Beach in the shore of Lake Kallavesi and the park area at the base of the peninsula, and the Peräniemi casino was added as a fourth stage.

One of the proposed sites is the Sorsasalo racetrack, which would reduce noise and litter nuisance to the surrounding population, but the location would be more difficult to reach.
