TUSKA KVLT TEAMS AND TASKS
The Tuska KVLT experience consists of guided activities and free time at the festival, allowing you to see all dimensions of festival production! As a guided activity, Tuska KVLT tasks are available one week before, during and two days after the festival, and are carried out under the guidance of industry professionals. During your free time at the festival, while having fun, we hope you will inform the Tuska KVLT Coordinators if you encounter any kind of questionable behavior on the festival site.
CONSTRUCTION AND DECONSTRUCTION
In the construction teams, you will help get Tuska ready for the festival weekend, where you will be part of building an unforgettable festival experience for Tuska visitors. During the deconstruction, your task is to ensure that the various structures, decorations and furniture are packed up and stored away for future years! Activities during the construction and deconstruction will take place during the festival week and immediately after the festival.
➣ CONSTRUCTION TEAM
Creating Tuska – that's what the construction team is all about. This team focuses on the construction and deconstruction of the festival. Tasks include building and placing fences, tents and signposts.
➣ DECORATION TEAM
As part of the decoration team, you will leave your mark on the visual appearance of the festival, and transform the festival area from mundane to a metallic, festive look. The installation of site art, furniture and decorations are the domain of the decoration team.
➣ SUSTAINABILITY TEAM
During the construction, the sustainability team will ensure that recycling during the festival goes smoothly! For example, your task is to make sure that recycling points find their correct location on the festival site, so that proper recycling of the festival visitors goes like a dance - or more like moshing.
