Seven more acts confirmed!

We are continuing with band releases for 2025, starting with the Falköpingsbandet, which has taken everyone by storm and is one of the most desired bands for the festival. A success story like no other and a fantastic live band: NESTOR. A really cool stage show is also promised!

Furthermore, we have a fond return for a band that has also become immensely popular in our long country. A lot because of both of their awesome contributions in Melodifestivalen. This is also one of the most desired bands. This is how you get: SMASH INTO PIECES.

Last year he had to cancel due to a car accident, but now he is coming to Knislinge and will deliver melodic rock and hard rock as only he can. A real rock star from the other side of the Atlantic. Mohawk of the world!: JEAN BEAUVOIR.

Then you will also get your fair share of porky hard rock from the Yankees in classic NASHVILLE PUSSY, which will make the whole of Knislinge shake and that with very poetic (!) lyrics.

Sleazig 80's oozing metal from multi-national COBRA SPELL who are heading straight up the career ladder.

Classic hard rock with psychedelic elements from one of the pioneers in hard rock: British STRAY with Del Bromham at the helm. A band that, among other things, is close to Iron Maiden's Steve Harris' heart.

We finish with divinely well played, melodic hard rock/metal with lots of twin guitars from the Brits in WYTCH HAZEL!

Despite all the awesome bands we've released, we still have 18 acts left to present!

Sungen & Jake E will be this years emcee's So it was time to introduce our emcees who will deliver info from the stages during Time To Rock 2026. SUNGEN is jumping on this job again after being banished to a corner in our VIP last year. He has been nagging and nagging and sending a lot of letters, faxes and shady videos and asking us to let him be emcee again and in the end we gave in. His nagging became too much. However, we forced him to not be alone and that he should bring someone with more knowledge, more intelligence and more charm. The choice then fell...

Erik Grönwall to Time To Rock Never has the interest been so great for an individual artist as when Erik Grönwall sang with Michael Schenker at Time To Rock 2025. So when the chance came, we really wanted to have Erik at the festival again in 2026, when he is now investing heavily in a solo career. We in Sweden should be proud towe have such a star in rock music. A fantastic voice, an entertainer on stage and a humble "one of the guys" personality are just some of the ingredients that make Erik Grönwall who he is. He is so much more than just a...

10CC confirmed to play Time To Rock! "I'm Not In Love" may be 10 CC's biggest hit, but contrary to what many believe, the sound of that song is not typical of the British band. 10 CC was formed in Stockport in 1972 and, like their compatriots in The Beatles, frontman Graham Gouldman and his friends were not afraid to experiment with music. Ballads like the aforementioned song were therefore mixed with the reggae-scented "Dreadlock Holiday", the rocking "Art For Art's Sake" etc. The band has made a number of songs worth noting, e.g. "The Wall Street Shuffle" and "Rubber Bullets". Perhaps our more local visitors like "Johnny...

Knogjärn confirmed! Some bands are always at the top when we check the wish list from our website. This year, Knogjärn was in place ##4 and then we felt that it was really time to book them for this summer's festival. Since 2015, when the Karlstad-based band adopted the name Knogjärn and decided to wholeheartedly focus on Swedish lyrics, they have been steadily growing and are now a well-established name on the rock scenes. The band's blend of melodic hard rock and metal, infused with elements of both rap and punk rock, has earned them a broad and loyal audience. Their sixth full-length...
