Tuska Festival, which will be held in Suvilahti, Helsinki, from June 26 to 28, 2026, has announced more of its lineup for next summer. The headliner is legendary Megadeth, one of the “Big Four” of thrash metal.
Founded in 1983, Megadeth, led by Dave Mustaine, has been creating the laws of thrash metal, firmly establishing the foundations of the genre, allowing future generations to build on them. Mustaine and his band have released numerous timeless albums, such as “Rust in Peace”, “Countdown to Extinction” and “Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying?”, which have sold millions and millions of copies worldwide.
Megadeth will release their last, self-titled studio album in 2026 and head out on a long farewell tour, which will also include the Tuska performance.
Other new additions to the Suvilahti stage include American metal juggernaut Trivium, also American nu-metal greats P.O.D., Finnish metal Stam1na, Finnish heavy metal band Lost Society, who are taking Finnish heavy music to a new level and will soon release a new album, Zurich deathcore street band Paleface Swiss, Return To Dust from the virile rock scene in Los Angeles, electronicore trio The Browning, founded in Kansas City, mystical metal nun group Dogma, German band Slope, who are doing slippery funk rock with a chili pepper spirit, Danish heavy metal alternative band 802, Swedish band Allt, who are playing progressive metalcore, Atlas, who combine Finnish mythology and poetry with dark metalcore soundscapes, and the multifaceted Finnish extreme metal band Kneel Before The Death.
