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.  Nightwish  have, incredibly, not played Sweden Rock since 2004. They have consistently ranked in our guest wishlists top 10 since then and this summer they will finally return! Also confirmed for Sweden Rock Festival 2020 are: Gojira, Accept, Opeth, Blue Öyster Cult, D-A-D, Devin Townsend, Raubtier, Alestorm, Clawfinger, Amaranthe, Nile, Witchcraft, Sonata Ar

With the support from feedback that we get from our guests each year, we make a plan for what needs to be improved in order to make our next festival even better. Some of the planned improvements will need a bit more time before they can be announced, but some are now finished enough for us to share with you.      Larger festival area The festival audience area will be increased with over 10 000 square meters. In addition, some sections where alot of people pass through will be made wider to minmize the risk of them being too crowded. The number of tickets sold will remain the same as the last few years, so these changes are made only to increase the comfort and well-being of our visitors. Details and a new map will be introduced later on during spring.     Increased capacity in entrances and bars In order to make the transitions in and out of the festival as smooth and quick as possible, we will increase the capacity and staff in the main entrance. We will also create a larger open sp

The date is now set! On WEDNESDAY THE 27TH OF NOVEMBER 11.00 AM CET , the tickets for SWEDEN ROCK FESTIVAL 2020 will be released!

The Tunisian band Myrath played an amazing show on the tent stage this afternoon. Not only does their melodic, middle-eastern metal sound highly original - they also put on a great show with fire jugglers, a dancer and an illusionist. After Behemoth unfortunately had to cancel their show tonight, Myrath have now agreed to stand in for them on extremely short notice and play their second Sweden Rock show of the day.   We are of course aware that Myrath is a smaller band and play a completely different kind of music than Behemoth, but their show earlier today was truly spectacular and we really recommend everyone who didn´t see them to give them a chance.

Extremely sad news: several members of Behemoth have been stranded on Frankfurt airport due to flight problems. Because of this, the band will not be able to play their show tonight.   The band sent the following message to their fans at Sweden Rock: "Legions of Sweden Rock - due to an error made by our airline, we have been forced to cancel tonight's show. This was an extremely important show for us; we tried to rectify the situation for the parts of our touring party affected but were met with further delays meaning we are unable to make it to the festival site in time. We will make it up to our Swedish Legions and appreciate your understanding and support!" With this short notice it will unfortunately not be possible to find a replacement of the same size and musical style as Behemoth, but we are nevertheless working on finding a solution to have a show on the Rock Stage after the Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow concert. More info to follow.
