Tuska Open Air Metal Festival

Another one in the Top 10 Most Famous Festivals in Finland that Toplist would like to introduce to you is the Tuska Open Air Metal Festival. Tuska Open Air Metal Festival, also known as Tuska (Finnish for "pain, agony"), is a Finnish heavy metal festival held annually in Helsinki. The first Tuska festival was held in 1998, and the festival has grown in size every year since then. Since 2001, the festival has been held in Kaisaniemi park in the heart of the city. Tuska, on the other hand, has been held at the Suvilahti event field in the Kalasatama neighbourhood of the Sörnäinen district since 2011. The festival has always taken place in June or July.

In recent years, attendance has increased, and the festival attracted 43,000 people in 2019. In 2006, the festival was nearly sold out, with 33,000 people attending over the course of three days to see 32 artists such as Anathema, Celtic Frost, Opeth, Sodom, Venom, and Finland's own Amorphis and Sonata Arctica.

Tuska had three stages: Inferno, Sue, and the main stage, Radio Rock (Radio City until 2007). Inferno, Helsinki, and Radio Rock Main Stage will be the names of these three stages in 2019.

Takes place: June, July
