Tuska is more than what happens on stage. Over the course of the Tuska 2025 weekend, Suvilahti once again became its own small city filled with familiar faces, spontaneous encounters, shared moments in the crowd, and the unmistakable atmosphere that makes Tuska feel like home to so many.

This photo report collects glimpses from between the stages: frontline energy, quiet pauses, random wanderers soaking it all in, and the small details that often say more than any headliner ever could. Included are also a few moments from SKYND’s interview at the Tuska Forum, offering a look behind the scenes of the festival’s broader cultural heartbeat.
