Been there a couple of times, nice urban festival, but Helsinki is pretty expensive, and be sure to book the hotel in advance.

Staying in a hostel so that's good. Will utilise supermarkets to get snacks and drink and have two meals a day hopefully to keep the price down . There is always mcdonalds

Thanks for your help. Normally a forum or community but I have not found one for Flow festival. Was going to go back to Best kept festival in Netherlands but the line up wasn't my thing

Flow is a brilliant and friendly festival though drinks and food in the venue are expensive but the food is from local  restaurants who offer pop up stalls.  Though there is a McDonald’s a ten min walk from the gate or try boneless for amazing smash burgers in the redi complex overlooking the site (there’s also a Lidl here for cheap drinks and snacks).

Which hostel are you staying in? Lots of Helsinki is walkable or you could get a travel card (www.hsl.fi) when you land that would cover your transportation to and from the city plus whilst you are here. 

Anything else just ask
