Tuska has put fourteen more bands on its 2027 bill and split the whole thing by day. The festival runs from 2 to 4 July at Suvilahti in Helsinki.

Children Of Bodom headline the Friday, Judas Priest the Saturday and Lorna Shore the Sunday, which is three decades of this music in three nights and about as clean a summary of where the audience is as a poster can give.

The new names are I Prevail, Orbit Culture, Fit For A King, Paradise Lost, Turmion Katilot, Speed, The Baboon Show, Conan, Celestial Sanctuary, Split Dogs, Cenobia, SUN, Tukkanuotta and Atlas.

I Prevail, Turmion Katilot and Speed go on the Saturday. Orbit Culture, Paradise Lost and Fit For A King are on the Sunday, which makes that the heaviest day on paper even with the youngest headliner on it.

Tickets are all on sale, from 149 euros for one day, 229 for two and 259 for three.
