Jay Smith replaces Moxy
Published: June 9 2025 at 09:21
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 best rock voices in the form of Jay Smith who immediately agreed to play for you in Knislinge.
Jay Smith was the frontman of the group Von Benzo when he made himself popular as the Idol winner in 2010.
Over the years, Jay has worked actively with music, but it is only in recent years that he has become
public property in Swedish homes again. Not least with his participation in last year's Melodifestival where he
competed with the awesome country rock song "Back To My Roots" and made it to the final. Jay Smith is an artist we think many of you will appreciate a lovely summer afternoon in Knislinge Rock City.
Jay Smith will play on the Pirate Rock Stage on Sunday, July 6th, 3:00 PM-4:00 PM
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...

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...

At the request of many: Eclipse confirmed! Now we can finally release the band that was actually wanted by most via the festival's "wanted band function": Eclipse.

Eclipse was formed in Stockholm in 1999 by, among others, Erik Mårtensson (vocals/guitar) and Magnus Henriksson (guitar).
