Ankor has been getting a lot of attention and making new fans this past festival season in Europe, and it clearly got caught by TuskaLive as well, bringing this exciting group back to Helsinki for a completely sold-out and packed night at On The Rocks. And with the addition of special guests Conquer Divide and openers A Dark Reborn, the party was complete!
Last Friday, Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica came to Tampere’s fully packed Tavara-Asema for their “Nordic Power Titans tour 2025”. In addition, they also brought along Arion to warm up the room for them. While the sound wasn’t always quite on point, that didn’t stop the evening from being a great amount of fun. An event by Grey Beard Concerts & Management.
Eluveitie started 2025 with the first leg in Europe of their “ÀNV Rising” tour, with support from Infected Rain and Ad Infinitum, and we saw it was good at one of the first stops at Kulttuuritalo Helsinki back in January! An event by TuskaLive.
TOTO recently played a show at a full Nokia Arena in Tampere together with Christopher Cross, marking the end of their ‘The Dogz Of Oz’ European Tour. The evening delivered a great feeling of nostalgia.
Finnish “disko metal” icons Turmion Kätilöt, together with King Satan, turned Tampere’s Tavara-Asema into a steaming hot party on last week’s Saturday night. An event by Nem Agency.
Marko Hietala had a special Valentine’s gift for us when he played a sold out show at Olympia-kortteli in Tampere.

Always a pleasure to see in a live setting, we’re all too happy to welcome him again on the Tuska stage this summer!
Getting a show packed on a Wednesday isn’t something everyone can do, but for a supergroup like The Halo Effect no problem. Together with Bloodred Hourglass they brought one heck of a hot show to Tampere’s Tavara-Asema a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to Fullsteam Agency for welcoming us to the event!
Eluveitie, Infected Rain and Ad Infinitum came to Tampere’s Tavara-Asema as part of their ‘Ánv Rising Tour pt I’ at the end of January, bringing their great music to one of Finland’s most beautiful cities. An event by TuskaLive.
Ginger Vine Management & PR gave us access to Apocalyptica’s “Plays Metallica vol. 2” show at Tampere-Talo on the 23rd of January. A show that was not only great to listen to, but also was visually great, with light arrangements that just helped the music to shine even brighter.
Hellsinki Metal Festival is becoming a permanent fixture in the Finnish summer festival landscape, and after 2 successful editions, the organisation decided they didn’t want to wait for another year. In comes a smaller winter edition of the main event about halfway December 2024, bringing amazing extreme metal bands together like Omnivortex, Batushka, Belphegor and headliners Dark Funeral!
