Sonic Rites is a Helsinki-based festival held at Ääniwalli and the nearby Konepaja area, dedicated to alternative and heavy music. The event brings together top acts from both Finland and abroad. The festival is renowned for its intense atmosphere, uncompromising lineup, and urban setting. It serves as an important gathering spot for music lovers, where genre boundaries blur and a sense of community takes center stage. Sonic Rites especially attracts fans of doom, sludge, post-metal, industrial, and darker shades of alternative rock and hip hop.
