SARA
Sara is a pioneer of Finnish alternative rock and metal, and the band celebrated their 30-year career in November with a special show at Tavara-asema in Tampere.
Sara released their 10th studio album “Hallava” in January 2025. Created between September 2023 and June 2024, “Hallava” was recorded under the direction of Tuomas Kokko at Electric Fox Studios in Jyväskylä, and marks the first time since the 2011 album “Se keinuttaa meitä ajassa” that the band worked in the studio with a producer. “Hallava” also features drummer Rami Rissa for the first time; he joined Sara in 2022 after Andreas Bäcklund stepped aside.
In a back catalogue of greatness, some of the songs Sara is best remembered for are the Emma Award–nominated track “Rauhan aika,” as well as their versions of “Yhtenä iltana” (Hector) and “Tyhjää” (Kaseva).
Sara’s first Tuska appearance dates back to 2002, so it’s high time for the paths to cross again. Finally, the summer of 2026 will make it happen.
