Tuska 2027 adds I Prevail, Paradise Lost, Orbit Culture and more

Tuska is moving full speed ahead towards its 2027 edition, announcing 14 new acts alongside the show days for its already impressive lineup. The Helsinki festival will return to Suvilahti from 2 to 4 July 2027, with Judas Priest, Lorna Shore and Children Of Bodom set to headline the three-day event.

Among the latest additions are American metalcore heavyweights I Prevail and Fit For A King, Swedish modern melodic death metal outfit Orbit Culture, and British gothic metal pioneers Paradise Lost. The announcement also brings a diverse selection of international acts and Finnish favourites to the bill.

The newly announced artists will perform across all three days of the festival. Friday will feature Conan and The Baboon Show, while Saturday welcomes I Prevail, Turmion Kätilöt and Speed, among others. Sunday’s program includes Orbit Culture, Paradise Lost, Fit For A King, Cenobia and SUN.

The full confirmed schedule by day is as follows:

Exact show times will be announced at a later date, and more artists are still to be revealed.

The latest announcement adds plenty of variety to Tuska‘s 2027 program. American metalcore is represented by I Prevail and Fit For A King, while Sweden’s Orbit Culture bring their modern take on melodic death metal. British veterans Paradise Lost add a different shade of darkness with their influential gothic metal, alongside the crushing doom metal of Conan and rising death metal act Celestial Sanctuary.

The international additions also include Australian hardcore outfit Speed, Swedish street-rock favourites The Baboon Show, and British rockers Split Dogs. Australia’s Cenobia and French artist SUN further broaden the lineup, with the latter combining infectious hooks with unconventional, riff-driven heaviness.

Finland is well represented by industrial metal favourites Turmion Kätilöt, suburban death metal crew Tukkanuotta, and modern metalcore outfit Atlas.
