Erik Grönwall to Time To Rock

Published: December 10 2025 at 08:45

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 God-given voice. After international successes with H.E.A.T, Skid Row and collaborations with some of the biggest names in the rock world, most recently the tour with guitar legend Michael Schenker, it is now clear that Erik Grönwall is going on a solo tour. This marks the start of a whole new chapter in his career - where he steps out on stage entirely under his own name.

"This is something I have been longing for for many years. I have always been in bands and loved being a part of it, but now it is time to tell my own story. It feels like the right time and the right way to meet the audience again."- Erik Grönwall

From viral interpretations to new music - for the first time live
During the pandemic - and in parallel with his own journey, battling cancer - Erik began recording stripped-down interpretations of both his own favorites and classic rock songs. What started as a way to keep his voice and soul alive quickly grew into viral successes with millions of listeners worldwide.
He is now working on his first solo album, and the upcoming gig will be the first opportunity for the Time To Rock audience to experience the new music live, along with some of the most beloved interpretations from his YouTube channel. Welcome back to Knislinge Erik!

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...

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...
