The first day of Rockfest 2025 in Turku kicked off under bright summer skies, setting the tone for a weekend packed with riffs, nostalgia, and high-energy performances. The main stage brought together three generations of heavy music — from the timeless legends of Judas Priest, still commanding crowds with effortless power, to Sepultura, delivering what was likely their final show on Finnish soil as part of their farewell tour, and Sweden’s own H.E.A.T., radiating pure rock ’n’ roll spirit.
