WELCOME TO SWEDEN ROCK FESTIVAL, June 7-10 2023

In order to meet the demands from bands playing our festival, we need to update our camera policy.   As a private person, you are allowed to bring a camera and lens with zoom up to 55mm.   Just like previous years, you may not bring extra equipment such as tripods, battery grips etc.   Professional video recordings of concerts are not allowed, but it's okay to use your cellphone with a built in camera/video function.   Please note that it is not allowed to use flash by the stages.   In order to bring professional photography equipment for professional use, you need an approved media accreditation. For photography in the pit you need a valid photo vest provided by the festival.    In order for smooth and quick entrance, please use the lines for "Bags" (or "Media", if you belong to that category).    If there is a message about cameras communicated on the stage screens for any specific concert, please respect and follow these guidelines. Thanks!

We're sorry to inform you that Grave is cancelling their gig here in Norje for personal reasons. Instead, we welcome melodic death metal band Nightrage to Sweden Rock Festival.   There are few bigger cult bands in Swedish melodic death metal than Nightrage. That is, mostly Swedish - guitarist and main man Marios Iliopoulos started the band in Greece, later relocating to the homeland of his heroes At The Gates, Sweden. Nightrage's list of members include, like, everybody who is anybody within the scene, and have released nine albums since 2003, most recently the brand new "Abyss rising" which is also their fourth with lead vocalist Ronnie Nyman.    Nightrage plays Silja Stage on Wednesday June 8th at 23:30.

Special screening: National TV channel SVT presents an exclusive preview of Heavy Metal Export - a new TV series about Swedish heavy metal.   Rockklassiker Stage, Friday June 10th, 11:15 Rockklassiker Stage, Saturday June 11th, 11:15   Swedish heavy metal took its first big step out into the international world in the beginning of the 1980s, when a young Yngwie Malmsteen sent a demo across the Atlantic and became a guitarr hero over night. Today Swedish heavy metal bands perform all over the world and on all the big arenas. This is the story about how Swedish heavy metal became an export success story.   In this world premiere, Swedish national TV station SVT will preview 45 minutes from the coming series, featuring more than 30 new interviews and a large number of golden archive clips painting a picture of hits, forerunners, enthusiasts, cult bands and icons. We will meet Europe, Ghost, Bathory, Entombed, Hammerfall, Candlemass, Opeth, Refused, Arch Enemy, In Flames, Clawfinger, Meshu

  The Running order for 2022 is finally here!   You can check it out in our app, where you can make a personalised schedule by marking your favorite artists.  If you are on your phone you can download our app here. It is also availabe on our website.    

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
