The Tuska Festival, to be held in Suvilahti, Helsinki, from June 26 to 28, 2026, has announced more acts for next summer: Megadeth, Trivium, P.O.D., Stam1na, Lost Society, Paleface Swiss, Return To Dust, The Browning, Dogma, Slope, 802, Allt, Atlas, and Kneel Before The Death.

The artists’ performance dates have also been announced, and all ticket categories are now available.

The headlining lineup is complemented by the legendary Megadeth, one of the “Big Four” of thrash metal.

Founded in 1983 and led by Dave Mustaine, Megadeth has helped shape the rules of thrash metal, laying a solid foundation for the genre and allowing future generations to build upon it. Mustaine and his band have released numerous timeless albums, such as “Rust in Peace,” “Countdown to Extinction,” and “Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying?,” which have sold millions and millions of copies worldwide.

In 2026, Megadeth will release their final studio album, which will be self-titled, and embark on a long farewell tour, which will include a performance at Tuska.

Other new additions to the Suvilahti stage include American metal multi-talent Trivium, fellow US nu-metal giants P.O.D., Finnish metal cornerstone Stam1na, and Lost Society, who are taking Finnish heavy music to a new level with their upcoming new album. the Zurich-based deathcore street thrashers Paleface Swiss, Return To Dust from the virile rock scene of Los Angeles, the electronicore trio The Browning, founded in Kansas City, the mystical metal nun group Dogma, the German band Slope, who slide down slippery funk rock with chili pepper spirit, Danish alternative heavy metal band 802, Swedish progressive metalcore band Allt, Atlas, who combine Finnish mythology and poetry with dark metalcore soundscapes, and the multifaceted Finnish extreme metal band Kneel Before The Death.
