Just in time for Christmas, we are happy to announce another 13 acts for this summer’s Sweden Rock Festival.
DEEP PURPLE
For the first time in 17 years, one of the truly pioneering bands of the hard rock genre are returning to Sweden Rock: Deep Purple became legendary in the ’70s, made a sensational comeback in the ’80s and have enjoyed another renaissance in later years thanks to both their powerful live performances and strong albums like Whoosh! (2020). This summer they will finally be back in Sölvesborg!
EUROPE
Europe made their long-awaited comeback at SRF 2004 and recorded a magical concert film at the 2013 festival. Ten years on, it is once again time for the Sweden Rock audience to enjoy later fan favourites as well as classics like “Rock the Night“, “Seven Doors Hotel“, “Carrie“, “Superstitious“, “Cherokee” and, of course, that famous song with the keyboard intro?
Also confirmed for the festival are the heavily AC/DC-influenced Australians in Airbourne, SRF debutants and retro rockers Wolfmother, reborn sleaze kings Skid Row, now fronted by Erik Grönwall (ex-H.E.A.T.), traditional, German heavy metal band U.D.O. fronted by former Accept main man Udo Dirkschneider, classic stoner rockers Monster Magnet, reformed, Norwegian melodic ’80s act TNT, Tunisian metal band Myrath, who played two already classic shows at SRF 2019, Danish star Mike Tramp, who will be celebrating his time with the band White Lion, the new, American blues rock hope Christone Kingfish, Slipknot related metal band Vended and the up and coming British AOR singer Chez Kane.
