TUSKA KVLT TEAMS AND TASKS

Tuska KVLT experience provides an opportunity to see all aspects of festival production through guided tasks and free time at the festival! Guided Tuska KVLT tasks are available a week before the festival, during the festival, and two days after the festival. KVLT tasks are carried out under the guidance of industry professionals.

During your free time at the festival, we hope that you inform the Tuska KVLT Coordinators if you encounter any kind of questionable behavior on the festival site. This way, we can collectively ensure the safety of the event while enjoying the festivities.

AREA SETUP AND DEMOLITION

During the area setup, you’ll be part of the KVLT teams that create the festive atmosphere for the Tuska weekend. During the area demolition, you ensure that Suvilahti is left in a spotless condition after the festival. Activities during the setup and demolition take place before and after the festival.

INFRA TEAM
Creating Tuska – that’s what the infrastructure team’s task is all about. During setup, your tasks include fencing the area, attaching signs, and setting up furniture. During demolition, your task is to ensure that the various structures and furniture are packed up and stored away for future years.

DECØRATION TEAM
In the decoration team, you’ll leave your mark on the festival’s visual appearance, transforming the festival area from its everyday look into a festive metal ambiance. Installation of site art and decorations are the domain of the decoration team. During demolition, the team ensures that decorations are stored for future years.

SUSTAINABILITY TEAM
During area setup, the sustainability team will ensure that recycling during the festival goes smoothly. Your task is to make sure that recycling bins find their rightful place on the festival grounds, making festivalgoers’ proper recycling as seamless as a dance – or more like moshing. During the area demolition, the team ensures that Suvilahti is left in a spotless condition after the festival. Mother Earth rejoices.
