Simple Session 2022 kicks off in a week! Super excited to welcome everyone back in Tallinn on June 8-13, together with the best BMX athletes and skateboarders worldwide. The Festival stays loyal to its last year’s new spot, taking place in the Põhjala district, an old rubber factory turned into a cultural hub. And not to mention street jams in the city center, legendary parties and many more. See the full program on our website simple.session.ee.
“We’re glad to be back at the Põhjala district that welcomes everyone with its cozy summer vibe. More intimate and closer to public venue proved itself well last year for both riders and audience, and we received great feedback, so we decided to continue with our third decade of Simple Session here,” says Risto Kalmre, the founder of Estonia’s biggest and world-renowned action sports event which takes place since 2000.
Where were you Saturday night? We've all heard this jealous question before, when our phone is left on airplane mode in the pocket. There are times at a festival where you let it go, where you no longer try to find your lost friends, where you forget to eat but not necessarily to drink, where you simply enjoy the present moment. At FISE we know that it takes place once a year on the town hall plaza, in this mysterious place where batman is probably hanging around, where we only go for administrative matters, at worst for a French tacos, best for a dip in the pool at the Marriott. But most of all it’s this place where Thomas Debatisse and Catfish pump up a crowd of festival-goers who are only waiting for one thing: to hallucinate, in all legality.
