It’s been 10 years since our very first Tuska visit, and it has become a yearly event in our planning. With Tuska 2026 on the horizon, we took a look at the things that have us counting down the days until we’re back at Suvilahti. If you somehow still haven’t decided to get your tickets and join us there, hopefully we can convince you to go for it 🤘
