ON TAKING PHOTOS AT THE EVENT

We do not encourage taking photos as we respect the privacy of others, but if you feel the need to take photos, make sure to restrict the photographing to cover only you and your friends (and even with them, ask them permission first!).

We have an official photographer at the site – you can recognize them by their badge. They will always ask for permission before taking pictures of individual, recognizable people.

Food and shopping

There are food and drink vendors at the venue: straight next to Disobey entrance, in the Lasipiha (Glass garden) space, Restaurant Traba serves for the duration of the event (Fri 11-19:30, Sat 12-19:30).

The Ruoholahti mall (500 metres by foot) and its surroundings offer fast food places, restaurants, off-licence and grocery stores.
