Oulu Music Video Festival Tickets on Sale 

The Oulu Music Video Festival, August 21 to 24, offers music video screenings featuring the latest music videos and selections curated by industry professionals. In addition to the videos, the after-parties will offer a diverse selection of live music from Finland and around the world. The theme of the 2025 music video festival is hyperreality. 

In addition to its traditional domestic music video competition, this year OMVF is organizing the Nordic Music Video Competition. Videos from both competitions will be screened at separate events, which are free to attend. The competition will culminate in the Pumpeligaala, where the best entries in both competition categories will be awarded. Tickets for the popular Pumpeligaala are sold in advance. For more information about the gala, visit the OMVF website. 

Music videos that did not make it into the domestic competition series will also be shown in their own free screenings. 

In addition to the competition, the festival will feature curated music video screenings. In Carte Blanche screenings, curators will present their favorites, while some screenings will be organized around a specific theme. In the Master Class and retrospective screenings, creators shed light on their careers in music videos and reveal their methods. 

The festival also offers a unique opportunity to see five longer music-themed films. 

Tickets for curated screenings, special screenings, and film screenings are sold in advance. You can buy tickets at Valve Ticket Office, Oulu10 service points and Ticketmaster. Afterparty Club tickets are sold at the door.

You can visit the Broken Edge exhibition at Valve Gallery free of charge from August 5 to 24. It's also free to visit the Silakkalounge events, with music provided by local DJs.
