Pre-party Friday July 7

Published: December 2 2022 at 08:34

The day before the "real" festival begins we will throw a pre-party and we hop that you will all come and party with us.

The first 3000 who bought either a 3-day ticket or a 3-day VIP ticket will have free admittance to this day. Early next year we will also release a limited number of 1-day tickets for the pre-party and the tickets will cost 395 SEK.

This day we will only have one stage playing and five great bands!

We open up the festival area at 4 PM and at 5.15 PM the local favorites SLÄKKTEN will enter the stage and set the standard for the rest of the evening.

6.45 PM, legendary Swedish entertainer, guitar player, singer and bluesman MATS RONANDER will get up on the stage and deliver all his classic songs.

8.15 PM Swedish band BROWSING COLLECTION will hit the stage. 4 girls that will deliver hard rock with energy and pulse!

9.45 PM it's time for the best Gasolin tribute in the world, GASBOX to deliver all the fantastic hits that Gasolin and Kim Larsen wrore. A great show is a promise!

We close the stage with a totally unique experience with the band THE CRYPT, who are playing their festival gig ever. We won't say more than that. You don't WANT to miss it.

Welcome to party with us!

Running Order complete! So we can present the full schedule for this summer's festival. There are always a few things that need to be worked out before you can put it together. It may have to do with the bands' travel times, etc. But now we are finally done. You can find the schedule here

Last band out: Dirkschneider! When Udo played under the name Dirkschneider in 2016/2017, it was under the slogan "Last chance to hear Accept songs with Udo Dirkschneider live", of which TTR 2017 (then Helgeåfestivalen) was one of the gigs. U.D.O. would never play their Accept hits again. Not even "Fast As a Shark" or "Balls to the Wall". Of course, this has not been possible. A treasure chest of songs like this cannot be left in the attic, at least not if the fans are allowed to decide. Now the gang is back with us, albeit in a slightly different setting. Udo and his son...
