The countdown to next summer has officially begun. Tuska Festival, Finland’s leading weekend of metal madness, returns to Suvilahti, Helsinki on June 26th – 28th 2026, and the first artist announcement delivers a powerful one-two punch: BRING ME THE HORIZON and BAD OMENS are confirmed as headliners.
From Sheffield, UK, BRING ME THE HORIZON returns to Tuska following a legendary performance two summers ago. Originally known for their deathcore roots, the band has since redefined modern metal, merging alternative, electronic, and pop elements into a sound all their own. Their latest album, POST HUMAN: NeX GEn has propelled them to even greater global acclaim, and with their live show operating at full force, their 2026 Tuska set is expected to be nothing short of explosive.

Joining them at the top of the bill is BAD OMENS, one of the most sought-after names in today’s heavy music scene. After being forced to cancel their European tour and much-anticipated Tuska debut two years ago, the U.S. metalcore powerhouse is finally making their debut appearance. Known for their emotionally intense sound, moody visuals, and frontman Noah Sebastian’s dynamic presence, Bad Omens has built a devoted global following, especially after their breakthrough 2022 album “The Death of Peace of Mind” and its viral title track.

The first wave of acts also includes a strong mix of modern and classic names from across the heavy spectrum. Among them are American metalcore force THE PLOT IN YOU, genre-bending death metal experimentalists BLOOD INCANTATION, progressive metal legends QUEENSRŸCHE, the Texas-based hardcore steamroller KUBLAI KHAN TX, UK metalcore torchbearers MALEVOLENCE, Swedish melodeath pioneers SOILWORK, the technically fierce RIVERS OF NIHIL and Finland’s own ENSIFERUM and BLOODRED HOURGLASS. Also joining the 2026 lineup are Swedish symphonic power metal outfit MAJESTICA, rising Australian metalcore act MELROSE AVENUE, chaotic genre-benders THE CALLOUS DAOBOYS from Atlanta, and Danish death metal revivalists NECKBREAKKER.
