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.
Battleaxe cancel - Eric Sardinas to replace! The saddest thing is when a band cancels. When they cancel because they consider it problematic to travel from England to Sweden in these times, it becomes even sadder. But we have tried to explain to Battleaxe that there is no problem at all to fly to Sweden, but without success. With short notice and many things we have to go to print etc., we do not have time to try to find a replacement in the same genre. However, we can proudly present Florida-born guitarist and blues rocker Eric Sardinas . He has made a name for himself for his...

Atomic Swing to replace Handsome Dick We regret to announce that Handsome Dick Manitoba, for logistical reasons, is canceling his gig at this year's Time To Rock. He says he is sorry for this, but that he would be happy to come to Knislinge in 2027 instead. Since it is impossible, at short notice, to find a legendary, American punk icon, we can instead present Swedish Atomic Swing in a big way. With Niklas Frisk at the forefront, we can expect the band to offer both nostalgia and the timeless energy that once put them on the world map. For festival-goers, this means a chance to experience...

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...
