At the request of many: Eclipse confirmed!
Published: February 21 2025 at 09:05
Now we can finally release the band that was actually wanted by most via the festival's "wanted band function": Eclipse. We listen and do our best to fulfill your wishes. Now it's time for the group to make a comeback in Knislinge. Eclipse was formed in Stockholm in 1999 by, among others, Erik Mårtensson (vocals/guitar) and Magnus Henriksson (guitar). The first record, "The truth and a little more" came out in 2001 and was guested by, among others, Kee Marcello (ex-Europe). Three years later came the sequel "Second to none" and to date the band has released more than ten records, the latest of which is "Megalomanium II" (2024). As mentioned above, the band has been in Knislinge before. The year was 2016. Erik and Magnus were on stage with Philip Crusner who was a relatively new drummer and Magnus Ulfstedt who at that time handled the bass. Since 2019, however, that instrument has been handled by Philip's brother, Victor Crusner. For those of you who don't already know Eclipse, we can tell you that this it's all about world class melodic hard rock (not black metal as you might think if you watch the video for "All I Want"). If you like the melodic hard rock bands we've already booked for the festival, you won't be disappointed at Eclipse. Another reason to buy a ticket if you haven't already.

Jay Smith replaces Moxy We regret to announce that Canadian Moxy is canceling their gig with us due to illness in the band. However, they have promised to come to us next year instead. Of course this is very sad, as we know that many have been looking forward to seeing this band that has not played in Sweden since 2001. This close to the festival, it is, for many reasons, not possible for us to find a replacement in the same genre as Moxy. So with a lot of deadlines hanging over our necks, we have also looked elsewhere and found one of Sweden's...

Bus from Hässleholm Since it is not that easy to get between Hässleholm and Knislinge with Skånetrafiken (there are no buses at all late at night), we solve it by leasing a bus that can take you back and forth. Because we want as many people as possible to come to us from Hässleholm. The price for a one-way trip is 90 SEK and if you want to buy a bus pass for all 4 days it costs 490 SEK . You pay with Swish (for Swedish only) or cash when you get on the bus. If you buy a bus pass, you do...

Crystal Viper cancel - Ambush steps in! Crystal Viper's lead guitarist has sustained an arm injury, which unfortunately affects us and you as the band's summer tour is canceled.

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...
