We regret to inform you that Trouble has cancelled their upcoming tour, including their gig here at Sweden Rock on the 9th of June.   Instead, we're welcoming doom metal band Memory Garden to the Thursday line-up.

Unfortunately The Wildhearts have to cancel their gig at Sweden Rock Festival 2022.   Instead, we welcome BONAFIDE to Norje on June 8th!   Bonafide is one of Sweden's leading contributions to traditional, bluesy, gritty hard rock in our time.   In 2008, after only one album, they debuted at SRF, which contributed strongly to the success of their sophomore album "Something's dripping" (2009).   The 2011 hit single "Fill your head with rock" has become somewhat of an anthem for Sweden Rock, and elevated Bonafide even further, both in Sweden and abroad.   After six albums and an extended period of silence, frontman Pontus Snibb and his merry men are finally returning to the stage and SRF.

We're happy to announce that SAXON, NATIONALTEATERNS ROCKORKESTER, ERIC GALES, DIRTY HONEY, BOMBER and ROCKKLASSIKER ALLSTARS are confirmed for Sweden Rock Festival 2022!   And with these additions, this year's line-up is complete.   Saxon (Fri June 10th) Saxon are perennial favorites with the SRF crowd. For good reason. These British heavy metal legends have maintained their great quality like few others during a 45 year career, both on stage and on record. Their new, 24th studio album "Carpe diem" is no exception. Hopeless nostalgians who still claim that no Saxon music beats classics like "Wheels of steel" and "Denim and leather", can obviously rest assured that Biff Byford & Co will be performing those as well this summer.   Nationalteatern (Fri June 10th) Nationalteatern ("The National Theater") debuted in 1972 and have left an imprint on the very soul of Sweden itself like few other acts. Without a doubt because their sound is timeless and their message, although steeped in s

There are now only a few of the 1-day Thursday tickets left in the system as well, and it looks like they will only last for another day or so.    If you want to secure one of these tickets, you'll find them here

Both 3-day and Wednesday tickets are now sold out as well!    As the 4-day tickets have been sold out for a while, the only categories remaining at this point are 1-day tickets for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and a small number of 4-day VIP tickets.   Tickets left

Heads up! There are now only a few of the 3-day and Wednesday tickets left in the system.   Our assessment is that they will only last for another day or so. So if your intentions are to secure one of these tickets, it's time to act.   You'll find tickets here

Today we are happy to announce five new additions and re-confirmation for the 2022 line-up!   Gothenburg's Hardcore Superstar are already well established favorites with the Sweden Rock crowd. This summer they play the festival for the sixth time, bringing their new album "Abrakadabra" with them (due in March).   Shooting stars The Halo Effect on the other hand, will play their very first Swedish gig at Sweden Rock Festival. With former members of In Flames and Dark Tranquillity, the expectations for this supergroup's coming first album are already sky high.   Nestor is the Swedish hair metal sensation of 2021. The band was formed already in 1989, but folded after a few years. Recently the members were re-assembled and recorded the video "1989" plus debut album "Kids in a ghost town" - instantly making Nestor the new dream band for hair metal enthusiasts.   Orbit Culture from Sweden play melodic, Gothenburgian death metal, combined with modern technical metal. The band is steadily gain

This Thursday, November 25th at 10:00 am CET, the remaining 1-day tickets for 2022 go on sale!   Simultaneously, the bus wristband tickets (for both zone 1 and 2) - and the parking-2 tickets - will be released.   As always, it's a good idea to be prepared for a ticket release!
