SaariHelvetti 2025 brought two days of blazing riffs, growling vocals, and wild performances to the idyllic Viikinsaari Island in Tampere. On August 1st and 2nd, 2025, metal fans ferried across the water for a fierce lineup featuring heavyweights like Stam1na, Insomnium, and Swallow the Sun, alongside burlesque, belly dance, and even “Speed Dating in Hell.” This year’s festival proved once again that paradise and pandemonium can share the same stage.
The first day of SaariHelvetti 2025 unleashed a storm of sound on Viikinsaari Island, as metal fans packed the shores for performances by COUNTLESS GOODBYES, RUOSKA, CUMBEAST, ELEINE, HAVUKRUUNU, SWALLOW THE SUN, KAUNIS KUOLEMATON, and STAM1NA.
