Tuska Sunday always feels a bit different. More relaxed, a little bittersweet, but no less memorable. We wrapped up the weekend with Kim Dracula, Whitechapel, Motionless In White, Nothing More, Noiduin and a stunning headline performance by Lorna Shore. Read our final festival report now.
Visual kei madness, Viking dance parties, massive circle pits and a werewolf-led headline spectacle. Day 2 of Tuska 2025 had no shortage of highlights. Read our full report featuring JILUKA, Orbit Culture, Eihwar, Slaughter to Prevail, The Halo Effect, thrown and Powerwolf.
Rain or shine, Tuska always delivers. Day 1 brought us everything from the emotional weight of Imminence and the brutality of Knocked Loose to the party madness of Electric Callboy and a triumphant headline set from In Flames.

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?
After a great first day at Tuska 2025, these are the 8 bands you should see today on day two with Wind Rose, Charlotte Wessels, JILUKA, Eihwar, Royal Sorrow, Orbit Culture, Slaughter To Prevail and thrown!
The second day of Tuska 2024 will get at least as exciting as the day before, we highly recommend you don’t sit out on the shows of Ankor, VOLA, Solence, St. Aurora, Make Them Suffer, I Am Your God, Bring Me The Horizon and The Abbey!
While it’s a given that as a metalfan you’ll want to catch shows of Dimmu Borgir and Kerry King today at the first day of Tuska, we think that there are a couple more bands that deserve some of your attention, or that we think will be even more epic to see live than you might suspect with editorial picks Lord of the Lost’s festival opening show, I Am The Night, Infected Rain, Krypta, Suburban Tribe, Assemble The Chariots, Zeal & Ardor and Pendulum!
We sat down with Onni and Kevin from Assemble the Chariots at Tuska 2024 to talk about their new album ‘Unyielding Night’ (set for release on July 19th via Seek and Strike), how this is the start of a whole universe they’re creating, with the sound they’ve always envisioned for the band from the beginning. And we came back from the talk with 2 things ingrained in our heads: listen to the album from start to finish, and make sure you make it to the release show at On The Rocks in Helsinki where they’ll play the album in its whole for what sounds like a unique experience…
