bash - execute multiple processes followed by another

I'm trying to do something similar to the following:

(task1 & task2) && echo "finished task1 and task2" && task3

The goal is that task1 and task2 will be executed simultaneously, and once BOTH finished, the latter command will be executed (echo and then task3)

Is that possible?

Just use:

task1 &
task2 &
wait         # for both task1 and task2 to finish
echo "finished task1 and task2"
task3
