Sweden Rock Festival organizators have launched a Band Competition, for the next years edition, which will take place on June 3-6th, 2015 in Sölvesborg – Sweden. Read more below:

Do you want to play with your band at Sweden Rock Festival 2015?

Now it´’s time to start up our big band competition where, in the end, 4 bands will get a chance to play Sweden Rock Festival 2015.

Rules are simpel:
– You have to play some kind of rock that will fit into Sweden Rocks concept
– You have to have your music on the internet. A video is an extra +. The more and better material, the bigger chance to go through the first selection.
– It’s ok if you previously played Sweden Rock and if you already have a record contract. Everyone can sign up!

The sign up form will be up until November 30 and then a jury from Sweden Rock will choose the 200 best acts that will go to the first voting round.

The 25 bands that get most votes will then move on to a second voting round and in the end, the top 3 bands will get to play Sweden Rock Festival 2015!
Besides these 3 band a jury from Sweden Rock will pick one more band as a “wild card”!

The 4 winners will get to play at Sweden Rock Festival 3-6 June 2015 and beside the gig they will also gethotel, food and drinks for the show day and of course wristbands for the entire festival. Each band will also get a 5000 SEK fee to cover travel costs etc.

If you come from another country and don’t have the possibility to pay for travelling to Sweden by yourself, please don’t sign up.

Sweden Rock Festival has issued the following via Official Website:

Now it’s time to start the voting in our band competition. We have selected just over 100 bands among the more than 1500 that signed up. The voting is operated by IP numbers and you can vote 1 time per day/per computer and you can vote for 5 bands or less each time. The voting round will end on January 9th so you can vote for your 5 favorite
bands every day up until then. If we suspect any kind of cheating during the voting procedure we will withdraw that band from the competition.

The 20 bands that get the highest amount of votes will go to a final voting round that will start January 16th and end February 1st.

The 3 winners will get to play at Sweden Rock festival 6-9 June 2012 and beside the gig they will also get hotel accommodation, food and drinks for the show day and of course wristbands for the entire festival. Each band will also get a 5000 SEK fee to cover travel costs etc.

To the left of each band name you have a icon you can push to listen to that band. Vote HERE.
