Oulu Airport is located ca. 15 kilometres from Oulu city centre, with good public transport connections to the festival area. Both Finnair and Norwegian Airlines have several daily flights to Oulu on a regular basis.
Qstock takes place close to the Oulu city centre, and this is why access by car right next to the festival area has not been made possible.
