Tuska announces the first 16 confirmed acts for the 2025 edition, including one of the headliners!

The summer of 2024 is about to be wrapped up, but there is plenty to look forward to already for next year’s summer. And the organization of Tuska just increased our excitement for next year by announcing the first 16 confirmed bands for the festival’s 2025 edition!

The first announced headliner is none other than New Jersey’s Lorna Shore, an interesting move to but a band as extreme as them as a headliner, but seeing how many people they manage to gather in Finland at their shows also not totally weird. 

Other confirmed artists are perhaps the world’s most upbeat and danceable metal band Electric Callboy, hopefully on the mainstage this time, as well as the German power metal monster Powerwolf, American Nothing More serving doses of nu-metal flavored hard rock, the Swedish groovy and modern melodic death metal masters Orbit Culture, the Australian alternative music strange bird Kim Dracula, top name in folk metal Korpiklaani, cornerstone of Finnish heavy music Marko Hietala, one of the most internationally famed Finnish singers Tarja Turunen, Charlotte Wessels who rose to world fame as the vocalist of Delain, Sweden’s groove/nu/deathcore machine thrown, French hypnotic pagan viking trance outfit Eihwar, Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus playing their classic “Itku pitkästä ilosta” album, Norway’s punk rock/metal squad Blood Command, modern melodic metal aces Arion, and the scorching hot mustache-metal act Tyrantti.

Exact show days of the bands will be made public later once more of the line-up is known. More artists will be announced later in the fall.
