Finnish noise gig calendar / Suomen melukeikat

[DBL]

This topic is for listing announcements of noise & related gigs and events in Finland. If you notice false info or an event that's missing, let me know (email: the.other.salvation (at) gmail (dot) com). Both small gigs and bigger fests are welcome, as well as related workshops. I'll try to keep this relatively up to date and of course admin is free to update it as well.
