Celebrating Meat Loaf - Bat 50
Published: August 31 2026 at 08:08
There are rock albums-and then there is *Bat Out of Hell*.
2027 marks 50 years since the release of Meat Loaf's monumental debut album-a record that became one of the most beloved and best-selling in rock history. Together with songwriter Jim Steinman, Meat Loaf created a unique musical world filled with massive choruses, drama, passion, and rock 'n' roll played at full throttle.
*Celebrating Meat Loaf - Bat 50* is a tribute to Meat Loaf, Jim Steinman, and the music that has left its mark on generations of rock fans. The show puts the great songs center stage-performed with the power, energy, and theatrical flair the music demands by members of Meat Loaf's own band and the amazing Andrew Polec, who starred as the lead vocalist in *Bat Out of Hell - The Musical*. This is no ordinary tribute act; it is a celebration performed by the very musicians who played alongside Meat Loaf.
Expect classics like "Bat Out of Hell," "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth," and "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad," alongside other favorites from Meat Loaf's incredible career. This music was never meant to be played softly; it is meant to be big, bombastic, emotional, and completely over the top. Five decades after the bat flew out of hell, it is time to turn up the volume once again.

Tyketto Unplugged today We regret to inform you that Tyketto's drummer is stuck on a highway in Germany due to a major accident (he was NOT involved in the crash himself) and has consequently missed his flight to Copenhagen. Faced with the choice of either cancelling the show entirely or having the band perform an acoustic set instead, we opted for the latter. So, today you will see Tyketto Unplugged, and we hope this turns out to be a unique and positive experience rather than a cancelled gig.

THE HEADLINES replace Discharge After hours upon hours of work trying to secure a replacement for Discharge, we are now proud to present: THE HEADLINES. The Headlines are a punk rock band from Malmö, formed in 2005.

Over the years, The Headlines have established themselves as one of Sweden's most active touring punk bands. They have played over 800 shows across Europe, Canada, Japan, China, and Russia, building a particularly loyal following in Germany. On stage,...

Discharge cancel We have a very sad announcement. A little while ago we received a message from Discharge that their flight from England had been cancelled. Their alternative was to take another flight, but it would land at 10pm on Saturday, which would then be after their gig. We offered them to come a day earlier and arranged a hotel room for them, but there was not a single flight available for them that day. So there will be no Discharge this year. We are doing our very best to find a replacement at such short notice and will get back with this...

Wishbone Ash to replace Foghat It's never fun when a band cancels. It's even worse when a band cancels so close to the festival. We also know that many people were looking forward to seeing Foghat this summer. Finding a "perfect" replacement at such short notice is not easy, but we think we've succeeded really well, as we can present the legendary WISHBONE ASH. The band that once taught Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest what "twin guitars" were. The band will then take over Foghat's playing time, Monday, July 6th at 4:15 PM on the Rock Kommander Stage. A big thank you to Wishbone...

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...
