For the first time, Tuska will have a designated harassment contact person who will provide discussion help to festival guests, performers and festival staff and direct them to appropriate help or support, if needed. The harassment contact person Tellervo Kraft  is specialized in this subject and has long-term professional experience in social and health services.

Pre and after parties take place in the restaurants Praha and On The Rocks. There's always time and place for more metal!

Jinjer, Sonata Arctica, Ensiferum and Tuska-torstai -winners Numento and Sacred Dimension added to the lineup. Symphony X, The Dark Element and Mokoma have unfortunately cancelled their performances.

Tuska Expo area will be again filled with a carefully selected range of interesting exhibitors.
