TollRock 2025 Day 1 was not only blessed with wonderful weather but with an impressive line-up on the first day. Starting with Lost Sanity (TollRockerz Band Contest Winner 2024), followed by April Art, Emil Bulls, Fiddlers Green, Skindred and Rock Rising gave an impressive list of artists. The audience was thrilled by the great live performances of all bands on stage. The expectations for day 2 have been raised to an almost unbeatable level.
Day two of Tuhdimmat Tahdit brought Michael Monroe, Moon Shot, Black Devils, Hardcore Superstar, Turmion Kätilöt, Battle Beast and the legendary Blind Guardian to Tampere’s Eteläpuisto on the second day and was great yet again! We surely will be back at this festival in the future.

Nahka Agency brought a great blend of Finnish metal to Tampere’s Tavara-Asema on Friday May 16th with Amoral, Shade Empire and Voidfallen. Unfortunately the turn up wasn’t anywhere near to as much as it should have been for such a night of quality metal music.
The 13th (local) edition of Full Moon gave us 3 Belgian bands: party cover band Crazy Copy Cats, System Of A Down tribute band Toxicity and heavy rock and rollers Promise Down (who you also can catch at Alcatraz festival this summer)!
