Unfortunately, Annihilator has had to cancel their show at this year's festival. The band has a new deadline for their coming album and need to focus on the recording. Annihilator will instead be playing at Sweden Rock Festival 2020.

 

Their replacement will be the Swedish death metal legends Unleashed, and this will be the first time in 10 years they play at Sweden Rock. Unleashed will be taking over Annihilators slot; Sweden Stage, 19.15-20.30 on Saturday the 8th of June.
