Bring Me The Horizon Deliver Unforgettable Performance At Tuska 2024 Festival

Bring Me The Horizon are making their European festival tour truly unforgettable. Fresh from a memorable appearance in Germany, where frontman Oliver Sykes brought his dad, Ian, onstage, the band took their theatrics up a notch in Helsinki this past weekend.

During their performance at Tuska 2024, the band fully embraced the festival’s heavy metal spirit by donning corpse paint. Tuska, renowned as Finland’s epicenter for all things metal, provided the perfect backdrop for this transformation. The event’s Instagram account revealed that Tuska had its own team on-site, specializing in creating the perfect corpse look for attendees and artists alike.

“In the festival area, you can refresh your own corpse masks at the Tuska Expo’s loft in Kattilahalli by Ulottuvuusmatkat Oy,” Tuska posted. “The same team also created the stage make-up for Bring Me The Horizon, so the merits are in order.”

This collaboration added an extra layer of metal authenticity to Bring Me The Horizon‘s performance, cementing their reputation as a band that goes above and beyond to connect with the festival’s unique atmosphere.
