Marko Hietala had a special Valentine’s gift for us when he played a sold out show at Olympia-kortteli in Tampere. The show also included appearances from Noora Louhimo and JP Leppäluoto as guest vocals on some of his songs. Thanks Master Events for the access. Always a pleasure to see in a live setting, we’re all too happy to welcome him again on the Tuska stage this summer!
Getting a show packed on a Wednesday isn’t something everyone can do, but for a supergroup like The Halo Effect no problem. Together with Bloodred Hourglass they brought one heck of a hot show to Tampere’s Tavara-Asema a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to Fullsteam Agency for welcoming us to the event!
Eluveitie, Infected Rain and Ad Infinitum came to Tampere’s Tavara-Asema as part of their ‘Ánv Rising Tour pt I’ at the end of January, bringing their great music to one of Finland’s most beautiful cities. An event by TuskaLive.
Ginger Vine Management & PR gave us access to Apocalyptica’s “Plays Metallica vol. 2” show at Tampere-Talo on the 23rd of January. A show that was not only great to listen to, but also was visually great, with light arrangements that just helped the music to shine even brighter.
Hellsinki Metal Festival is becoming a permanent fixture in the Finnish summer festival landscape, and after 2 successful editions, the organisation decided they didn’t want to wait for another year. In comes a smaller winter edition of the main event about halfway December 2024, bringing amazing extreme metal bands together like Omnivortex, Batushka, Belphegor and headliners Dark Funeral!
They’re celebrating a quarter of a century long career this year, but last November we still caught Comeback Kid in Helsinki while on tour through Scandinavia and Europe! A real bombshell of a hardcore music night with amazing support bands Spaced and Prowl warming up the crowd!
Finnish metal institution Wolfheart decided to wrap up their year with one last show at On The Rocks in Helsinki, and with them they brought the melodeath talents Swansong and Scythe of Sorrow to warm the crowd up for a great night of Finnish metal! An event by Nahka Agency!
Finland’s band of misfits King Satan released their latest album ‘The Devil’s Evangelion’ via Noble Demon, and such an epic album deserves a proper release tour of course. With them, they brought their friends of the dark elektro duo Miseria Ultima to open the night, and doomy outfit The Abbey as direct support at the Helsinki stop. An excellent night of great music and friends, and with all bands in absolute top form!
Country music isn’t just for warm summer days as Steve ‘n’ Seagulls skilfully demonstrated when they played their last gig of 2024 at Tampere’s Klubi on Friday the 20th of December.
On the back of the release of their latest album ‘Friend of a Phantom’, VOLA embarked on an extensive European tour and dropped by Vanha Ylioppilastalo in Helsinki, Finland in November to repeat the amazing performance they had at Tuska this past summer! With them, they brought the ever enchanting Charlotte Wessels and Feather Mountains. An event by TuskaLive.
