TUSKA 2025 KVLT BANDS ANNOUNCED & APPLICATION NOW OPEN

Tuska festival’s Tuska KVLT Stage will present eight Finnish bands that have secured their positions on the lineup by taking part in Tuska KVLT community activities last summer. Tuska 2025 will be celebrated in Helsinki on June 27–29. 

Tuska KVLT recruitment and band search now open

Tuska KVLT is a community welcoming everyone, with a goal to secure the continuity and prosperity of the culture formed around metal music. As part of the Tuska KVLT community, you have the opportunity to be an important part of making the festival a reality alongside more than a thousand event industry professionals, meet new people and gather unforgettable experiences. 

This past summer, 230 people participated in Tuska KVLT activities, between the ages 18 and 76 years, 140 of whom took part in KVLT activities for the first time.

Recruitment for 2025 is currently underway on the Tuska KVLT webpage. Previous festival experience is not required; being 18 years of age and having a positive attitude are sufficient. Training is provided for all roles.
