Sweden Rock 2016 has announced another 13 acts for next summer’s festival line-up, set to take place on June 8th-11th in Sölvesborg:
In the last decade, SABATON has evolved into one of Sweden’s premier music exports. Next summer, they return to Sweden Rock Festival, with a big stage show and a new album under their belts.
Bassist Pär Sundström comments: “When we first played at Sweden Rock Festival back in 2005, it was the biggest and best rock festival in Sweden, and we were a relatively young band who opened on the smallest stage. Now, more than ten years later, it will be amazing to return to what is still the biggest and best rock festival in Sweden, and close the main stage!”
MEGADETH are one of the “Big 4” of thrash metal and seem to be making a big splash with their forthcoming “Dystopia” album. Next summer, they visit Sweden Rock for the first time in eleven years.
Also returning are FOREIGNER – one of the greatest AOR bands in history and the masterminds behind hits like “I want to know what love is”, “Cold as ice”, “Hot blooded”, “Juke box hero” and “Waiting for a girl like you”.
