Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Today, the 3 and 4 day tickets for Sweden Rock Festival 2017, set to take place on June 7-10th, are being made available.

Festival organizers issued:

We are happy to also be able to announce 10 acts that will be joining Aerosmith, who were announced last week, in the event line-up!

Few could probably have guessed 20 years ago that a band from Gothenburg combining death metal with melodic 80’s heavy metal would one day be filling arenas the world over, but that is exactly what In Flames have accomplished. Their new album “Battles” was released just a couple of weeks ago and in 2017, Sweden Rock Festival will be their only Swedish festival appearance!

Running Wild have been in the major league of the heavy metal genre ever since their breakthrough 1987 “Under Jolly Roger” album, but live shows by the band have always remained scarce. In their native Germany, they have headlined the biggest metal festival in the world, Wacken Open Air, twice in recent years, but they have not visited Sweden since the year 2000. Next summer, the time is finally here though, as Rolf Kasparek and his crew steer their ship towards Sölvesborg!

All acts confirmed so far:

Aerosmith (farewell tour, only show in Sweden)
In Flames (only festival show in Sweden)
Running Wild (only show in Scandinavia)
Clutch (only show in Sweden)
Gotthard (25th anniversary show)
Venom (only show in Sweden)
Rhapsody (20th anniversary reunion/farewell show)
Black Star Riders
Candlemass (“Nightfall” 30th anniversary show)
Y&T
Metal Church

A total of 80 bands will be playing at the Sweden Rock Festival on June 7th – 10th 2017. More acts will be announced as they get confirmed.
