Photo Reports
From Heriot and Cabal’s crushing heaviness to The Hellacopters’ rock ‘n’ roll swagger and Ministry’s industrial assault… relive Day 1 at the Helldorado Stage in our latest Alcatraz photo report!
No backdrop, no filter. Kim Dracula, Whitechapel, and Nothing More on the Radio City & Nordic Energy Stages during Tuska Sunday 2025.
Tuska Sunday delivered a powerful closing chapter on the main stage. Motionless In White, Apocalyptica, and headliners Lorna Shore brought Tuska 2025 to its finale.
During the high time of the festival summer frenzy in 2025, THE GHOST INSIDE stopped over between all the festival gigs at Stuttgart’s LKA Longhorn on June 24 for one of two club shows. Support was given by the Hamburg, Germany-based metalcore band HALF ME.
Tuska 2025 day one beyond the main stage. Performances by Blood Command, SKYND, Bambie Thug, and Imminence lit up the Radio City and Nordic Energy Stages.
Tuska 2025 kicked off in full force on the main stage. From Horizon Ignited opening the day to Electric Callboy, Cradle of Filth, Knocked Loose, and headliners In Flames, Friday delivered from start to finish.
The edges were sharp on Rockfest 2025’s final day. From crushing modern metal to hardcore punk defiance, Ghostkid, Immortal Disfigurement, and Black Flag left their mark on the Red & Black Stages.
Rockfest’s second day delivered a powerful main stage lineup: Battle Beast flying the Finnish metal flag, Bullet For My Valentine celebrating 20 years of The Poison, and Till Lindemann closing the night with his unmistakable theatrical darkness.
Rockfest Friday wasn’t just about the main stage. From Dead By April and Awake Again to Jinjer and Cemetery Skyline, the Red and Black Stage delivered intensity, precision, and atmosphere in equal measure.
In mid-May, Ääniwalli became a vortex of technical brutality and progressive intensity as Born of Osiris brought their tour to Helsinki. With support from death metal and deathcore juggernauts Ingested, the genre-bending Entheos, and Portugal’s The Voynich Code, the night unfolded as a showcase of modern metal’s most forward-pushing acts.
Lists
With about a week to go, we put together 10 reasons why we think you should consider to still get yourself a ticket for Alcatraz 2024 and join in with the fun! With a stellar line-up, including some of the best the Belgian scene has to offer and a great organization trying to improve your festival experience year after year, it’s promising to be one hell of a weekend again!
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!
Tomorrow it’s again that time of the year: Tuska weekend is upon us! If somehow you weren’t convinced yet that you need to go, here are 10 reasons we believe should be enough motivation to still get a ticket if any are available still!
