Suvilahti festival area will undergo some welcome renovations as the outdoor stages will be situated differently to maximize the live music experience. Due to relocation of the stages, the tent stage will be replaced with greatly enhanced food court. Third stage located indoors in the Kattilahalli building has also gone through a major facelift with better sound and cozier atmosphere. The map of the improved Tuska festival area will be revealed in early June.
