Helsinki Live

How does this work?

Helsinki Live is an automatically updated event listing that collects events from multiple open sources in one place. The site is updated daily by fetching data directly from event organizers' own pages and open data APIs.

What information we show

• Event name – the title of the performance or concert
• Date and time – when the event starts
• Venue – where the event takes place
• Description – a brief summary of the program
• Ticket info – price and link to ticketing, if available
• Genre – automatically detected music genre

What we don't do

• We don't sell tickets or reserve seats – links always go to the event's own ticket shop
• Events update automatically from their sources; events submitted by organizers are added after verification
• We don't guarantee accuracy – always verify critical details (time, venue, cancellations) on the event's own page

Cancellations and Changes

If an event is cancelled, we mark it on the site as soon as we receive the cancellation notice from the source. However, we cannot guarantee that we see all last-minute changes. <strong>We always recommend verifying the event date and venue on the organizer's own page.</strong>

Data Usage

All information on this site comes from public sources. We respect event organizers' copyrights and use the data solely for listing events.

Report an error or suggest something new

Reports are handled automatically: clear corrections are approved and go live with the next publish, and more involved suggestions are escalated to the maintainer.
