When does Tuska Open Air 2027 take place in Helsinki?
Tuska Open Air takes place from 2 to 4 July 2027 (Friday to Sunday). The festival is widely regarded as the biggest heavy metal festival in Northern Europe and has been held right in the center of Helsinki since 2011, on the site of a former power and gas plant.

The festival takes place at Suvilahti, a cultural area in the Kalasatama neighbourhood of the Sörnäinen district, a little more than one kilometre north of downtown Helsinki. The former industrial halls and gasometers form a striking backdrop for several stages, including the Karhu Main Stage. The venue is easy to reach on foot, by metro or by public transport.
