Time to celebrate 35 years of psychedelic stoner rock: we caught MONSTER MAGNET at one of their stops on their anniversary tour, bringing us together with support DAILY THOMPSON a night full of psychedelic infused Stoner-Rock at LKA Longhorn in Stuttgart, Germany! And they showed that they’re still an excellent live band and still the benchmark against which established and upcoming bands must measure themselves.

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!

Music lovers were transported into a trance during King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard’s psychedelic rock adventure at Vorst Nationaal in Brussels. The Australian band, notorious for their energetic live shows and experimental sounds, took the audience on a whirlwind tour of genres, from garage rock to metal and funk. Support came from their countrymates of Grace Cummings.
