You can find all this and more at the Alepa container on the festival grounds – and without any marked-up prices either!

How can you make the darkest weekend of the year even darker? With a black tent, of course! A wash-proof metal head can survive in any weather, but not even the palest headbanger would want a biblical flood to turn their fried sausages and potatoes into soup or the harsh sun to boil their beer. The dark StopTeltat tent is also covering the Helsinki Stage!

As in previous years, the powers of darkness of will reign in the same inimitable fashion as Pågå once again supplies the festivals furnishings. The damn fine interiors and visual structures will have you wondering wither Pågå was also responsible for the Temple of Hades. For Pågå, summer without Tuska would be a sham – as the ancient stone tablets reveal, the unholy alliance between Pågå and Tuska has lasted already for 20 years this summer!

Tuska’s very own master blacksmith Kirsi Vahtera has forged iron for the festival since 2016 This summer, the Master is launching a new line of jewellery at TuskaExpo to satisfy the endless demand for quality gear – preferably Finnish – among festival-goers. These jewels are enough to make even the thief of the Sampo jealous!

Tricton is the torchbearer for the darkest weekend of the year! If there is no blood red moon to light up the murkiest corners of Suvilahti, Tricton will make sure that festival-goers don’t have to wander around in the dark. Custom Works makes sure you see what you’re meant to see without ruining the shadows and darkness!

Hurrikaanit provides relief at Tuska in the form of spacious toilets and numerous urinals, making sure that no one has to hold their knees together or wade through sh*t. Enough toilets and urinals will be roadied to Tuska so no one has to miss a single riff. Hurrikaanit takes care of business with a demonic gleam!

Waste management is not a game, so Tuska leaves it to the iron-fisted professionals at Remeo. They make sure the festival grounds are kept clean and that trash finds its way to the right address. As long as every festival-goer throws away their own trash in the bins, Remeo will take care of the rest – so you won’t have to step on any plastic in your combat boots!

Someone has to keep the headbanging pigs in their pens. Ramirent is in charge of setting up fencing like gardeners of darkness, while also supplying the heavy machinery. The quality products and services are surely certified by Lucifer himself, ensuring that the most dastardly weekend of the year is painfully enjoyable!

Bright makes sure that all the sounds are suitably throaty and the riffs tickle the ears of metalheads in all the right ways. In addition to the sounds, the Bright team is in charge of the lighting and video technology on the stages, as well as the stage structures themselves for the Radio Rock Main Stage and Helsinki Stage. These bacchanalias would not be possible without these titans!
