Judas Priest confirmed as final headliner for Tuska 2027 – The Devil Wears Prada, Stratovarius and more added

The lineup for Tuska 2027 continues to grow, with British heavy metal legends Judas Priest now confirmed as the festival’s third headliner. The band joins previously announced headliners Lorna Shore and Children Of Bodom at Helsinki’s Suvilahti on July 2nd–4th, 2027.

Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1969, Judas Priest have spent more than five decades at the forefront of heavy metal. Their extensive catalogue includes landmark albums such as “British Steel”, “Screaming for Vengeance” and “Painkiller”, as well as classics including “Breaking the Law”, “Living After Midnight” and “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin'”.

The band’s latest studio album, “Invincible Shield”, was released in 2024 and marked the 19th full-length release of their career.

The Devil Wears Prada, Stratovarius and more join the lineup

Alongside Judas Priest, Tuska has announced six additional acts for its 2027 edition.

American metalcore heavyweights The Devil Wears Prada will return to Finland, while Manchester hardcore outfit Guilt Trip will bring a heavier edge to the festival.

Finnish power metal veterans Stratovarius will perform a special show celebrating the 30th anniversary of their landmark “Visions” album, originally released in 1997.

Canadian hard rock trio Danko Jones have also been added to the bill alongside Swedish modern rock outfit Smash Into Pieces and British heavy rockers Green Lung, whose music combines elements of hard rock, progressive rock and psychedelia.
