Tuska Open air
Finns love their music festivals. There is a music festival for all types of music, but the number one music in Finland is HEAVY METAL! Tuska Open Air is the biggest metal festival in the Nordic countries. During the years Finnish metalbands like Amorphis, Nightwish, Stratovarius, Apocalyptica, Children of Bodom and others have performed on the festival. Numerous big names from abroad have participated as well. Some of them are W.A.S.P, Dimmu Borgir, Dio, Type O negative, Anthrax and more.
In 2014 Tuska had 24 000 visitors. The name Tuska means pain or agony, which really tells something about the Finnish mentality of melancholy.
In this video you can see Finlands great pride Apocalyptica, a heavy metal Cello band.
