Tuska Open Air

Tuska Open Air Metal Festival forkortet Tuska er den største metalmusikfestival i hele Norden. Tuska begyndte i 1998 og er vokset hvert eneste år efter. Festivalen har siden 2001 fundet sted i Kaisaniemi park i midten af Helsinki, Finland. Tuska flytter i 2011 til Suvilahti, som også ligger centralt i Helsinki.
