Held at Suvilahti, Helsinki on June 26–28, 2026, Tuska Festival has just revealed a new wave of artists for next summer. Adding some serious power to the festival’s headlining roster is none other than Megadeth, a true legend and one of thrash metal’s revered Big Four.

Formed in 1983 and led by the iconic Dave Mustaine, Megadeth has been instrumental in defining the laws of thrash metal, laying down the very foundations upon which countless future acts have built. The band has released numerous timeless albums such as Rust in Peace, Countdown to Extinction, and Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying?, selling millions of copies worldwide.

In 2026, Megadeth will release their self-titled final studio album and embark on an extensive farewell tour, with their Tuska appearance being part of that historic journey.

Other new additions are American metal heavyweights Trivium and nu-metal legends P.O.D., along with Finnish fan-favorites Stam1na, the high-energy and genre-blending Lost Society, Swiss deathcore juggernaut Paleface Swiss, rising LA rock act Return To Dust, electronicore trio The Browning from Kansas City, and the enigmatic metal nun collective Dogma.

Also joining the lineup are German slick funk rockers Slope, a fresh Danish alternative heavy metal outfit 802, and Sweden’s progressive metalcore act Allt. Finland will be further represented by Atlas, combining national mythology and poetry with dark, atmospheric metalcore, and extreme metal up-and-comers Kneel Before The Death.

Show days for all confirmed artists have now been published.
