This year the TUSKA 2008 (27-29.06) festival will be amazing. The fest is usually pretty heavy, but this year a special Nightwish/Epica/Amorphis concert is attached the day before. I expect four days of eternal fun. Festival website on this

Any suggestions whom I shall certainly see?
The only problem, headliners on the main stage plays withoun any concurrency but smaller bands will be "paired" so I can shoot only one band of two, pretty often...
Devious Comments
Well, basically all the Finnish bands are worth being seen, but those will pretty sure play at the same time. But on the other hand...you´ll surely see those bands more often in Finland. So pick the ones, where the chances are quite small you´ll see them again that soon.
The Sorrow are pretty boring in my opinion, just saw them again last weekend. Metalcore...
Ach damn...the whole billing is great and I´m still pissed off that I won´t make it there this year!

I miss apocalyptica
I prefer interesting bands with good appearance. Good that Dimmu will be on main stage. Otherwise they play in darkness.

Same with Apocalyptica here...too bad I didn´t see them last year on their tour here in Germany. Especially because Stam1na were support act.
But well, they´ll come back and I´ve already seen them 9 times or so, hehe.
Hehe, Dimmu will most probably a lot of fun to shoot!
Well, I´ll see them at Metaltown. If can take pics, that the other question at the moment, they wait with confirmation till two weeks before the festival. o.O

As for small bands, I agree with Cornelia here - Stam1na and The Scourger is a must. Even if you've got the chance to see them almost daily the sort of photos you might get from those bands will be worth even missing some rare to see in Finland act. And don't miss Korpiklaani!
Cornelia - Apocalytpica 9 times? Am I jelous or what, I have seen them 3 times only... but looks I'll never get enough. I think I haven't seen any pics of them in your gallery? Would be soooo cool if you posted some.
