It’s here: The Tuska 2026 program is complete. The list of performers for Tuska, which will be celebrated in Suvilahti, Helsinki, on the last weekend of June, will be supplemented by three international bands.
Loudness, a legend of Japanese heavy metal and one of the country’s most internationally successful metal bands, will be coming to Tuska. The band is celebrating its 45th year of career this year, and the tour honoring this milestone will also extend to summery Helsinki. Loudness is known especially for the virtuoso playing of guitar god Akira Takasaki, catchy riffs and unmistakable sound.
Among the newly released artists, domestic top metal expertise is represented by Warmen, who once started as a side project of COB skipper Janne Wirman. Warmen, who has had a long career and has recently made their mark, recently released the album “Band of Brothers”, which is progressing like a roller coaster.
The last missing piece of the Tuska 2026 program is Leeds-based Caskets, who deliver a combination of modern metal, post-hardcore and electronic intensity.
