At Tuska this year, we sat down with Jemina and Henri from the Finnish dark folk act Noiduin to talk about how they channel their own country’s folklore, pagan history and ancestors in their music and performances, how tricky it can be to work with traditional, self-build instruments and how they hope people can connect with something deep inside themselves when listening to their music.
Last day of Tuska 2025 already starting in a couple of hours! We’re really excited to see the epic headliner show of Lorna Shore, but besides them, here are 7 acts that are taking over a stage today you shouldn’t miss out on in our opinion, with Havukruunu, Kim Dracula, Nothing More, Octoploid, Polaris, The Vantages and Noiduin! Who are you looking forward to seeing today if you’re joining us at Tuska?
In less than a week, Tuska weekend is upon us! If somehow you weren’t convinced yet that you need to go, here are 10 reasons we believe should be enough motivation to still get a ticket and join us there!
The summer festival season is over, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of exciting fests happening over the next couple of months this autumn/winter in Finland, starting with Cult of Darkness today, Helsinki Techfest, and HKI SKEPU FEST VI this month still, Pakanafesterit in October, Hellsinki Industrial Festival and Melancholy Mass Festivals in November, and John Smith Rock Frozen in December! And for the beer and music lovers, several Masis Beer & Metal events spread over the next couple of months all over Finland! Go get your tickets now!
