Today, we announce the first 31 acts, out of 90, for next year's edition of the Sweden Rock Festival.

Volbeat is one of the biggest rock bands in the world. Next week, they are playing to over 30 000 fans at Tele2 Arena in Stockholm and every year since their latest visit to Sweden Rock, in 2014, they have been one of the most requested acts for the festival.

Mercyful Fate is one of the most important and legendary bands in heavy metal history. After a 20 year hiatus, mainly due to vocalist King Diamond's solo career, they are now being reactivated. At Sweden Rock, they will play a night time slot with a big stage production.
