Bonafide to Time To Rock with brand new song!
Published: October 12 2024 at 08:28
A hard working band! Yes, you can really say that about Swedish Bonafide, which was formed back in 2006. Two years later, they broke through on a wide front when, in the same way as Myrath, they did a double gig at Sweden Rock Festival. Within a day of their own gig, the group replaced Sebastian Bach on the main stage. After only releasing one record and barely existing for two years. Luckily the members were not pigeons back then (as we say in Sweden). The song Fill Your Head With Rock, which was written for Sweden Rock, was named one of the best songs of 2011 by Classic Rock Magazine. Since then, the band has released six records and toured Europe, not least Sweden then of course, but also a lot in Great Britain. In 2017, Bonafide did a small Sweden tour with a certain American band called Warner Drive, can be mentioned in passing. The permanent band leader, Pontus Snibb (vocals/guitar) has a musical CV that most people can only dream of as he has played in an endless number of different bands. In addition to Bonafide, at the time of writing he is active in, among other things, Wreck of Blues and as drummer in The Wildhearts. In addition to Pontus, the band consists of Anders Rosell (guitar), Martin Ekelund (bass) and Niklas Matsson (drums). With this line-up, two albums have been recorded, namely "Denim Devils" (2015), "Flames" (2017) och "Are You Listening?" (2023). Since he wrote a song for a festival once, we thought he could do it again. So we asked Pontus Snibb to write us a real hit. A simple, punch in the face rocker. The requirement was that the song should be called "Time To Rock". Now both the song and the band are ready for the Time To Rock Festival. They will of course play the song when Bonafide visits us this summer. Sweet!

Easy Action to Time To Rock Easy Action was formed in 1981 and with the help of their image and artist name, the band became so much LA that the record company guys most likely didn't even realize that it was a Swedish band. For album number two, "That Makes One" (1986), the group had focused more on melodic rock and also managed to recruit Tommy Nilsson , the best Swedish rock voice of the 80s alongside Joey Tempest, as a singer. The album was well received and songs such as "Talk of the Town", "Teachers Do It With Class" and "Rosie" still hold up well today....

Half ticket price for youth 2026 News for Time To Rock 2026 - half price for youth between 13-18 We have previously had free admission for children between 3-13 years. We will of course continue with this. But for the 2026 festival, we will also release a youth ticket for all those who have turned 13, but not turned 18. We obviously want to help do our bit, so that the resurgence of "rockers" will be better and we know that it can be expensive for a family to, for example, pay full price for their teenage children. The prices of artists and stages, lights, sound etc...

Thank you! We really want to thank you, our wonderful audience, the artists and our awesome staff, for another fantastic year. Sold out camping and we also broke the audience record once again. Add to that a fantastic atmosphere that all of you who were here helped create over four days of rock n roll. We are really humbled, happy and proud of the fact that our little festival has managed to grow, just enough, so that we can still offer the convivial feeling that we know you all value highly. We certainly hope that those of you who have been here have...
