The annual music and arts festival was first held in 2004 as a small, 4,000-person club event. However, the 20th-anniversary event is expected to draw more than 90,000 people.
Here's what we know about it so far:
Who is headlining the Flow Festival 2024?
Headliners include Raye, Pulp, PJ Harvey, Fred Again, The Smile and IDLES.
Jessie Ware, Denzel Curry, Overmono, Alvvays and Body & Soul are among the other confirmed names for the weekend.

It will be held on August 9-11 in the Suvilahti area, a former energy production and industrial site located in the eastern part of Helsinki.
Organisers say Suvilahti provides a unique urban setting for the festival, with industrial buildings, open spaces, and a distinctive atmosphere.
