Uriah Heep confirmed to play Time To Rock
Published: October 13 2023 at 09:11
First up on this release is the legendary URIAH HEEP. The band that was one of the first "Big four" when talking about the first wave of British hard rock. The other three were Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. With songs like "Lady in Black", "Stealin'", "July Morning" etc., the sing-along will be heard while the sun sets over Östra Göinge municipality. It will be magical.
Also coming to Knislinge are Finnish THE 69 EYES with their fantastic hybrid between goth and sleaze! Show is promised!
We continue with former Whitesnake guitarist Adrian Vandenberg, who under the band name VANDENBERG will deliver high-octane hard rock of the highest class.
From the USA, founder Kurdt Vanderhoof brings his band METAL CHURCH with him and brings you American metal at its very best.
It will be blues from California through the awesome guitarist (and singer) ALASTAIR GREENE. If you like blues rock, this is really something for you.
If you like 70s glam and bands like T-Rex, Mott the Hoople and Slade, you should check out Swedish VELVET INSANE who have gone from strength to strength.
We end this round with a Swedish band who released their debut album back in 1989. STEELWINGS then fell victim to the grunge death and were put in the mothball but after 5 years they are back and it is undoubtedly very potent Swedish heavy metal from this Markaryd band with the cruel lead singer Tommy Söderberg. What a fucking pipe this man has. Listen!
Running Order complete! So we can present the full schedule for this summer's festival. There are always a few things that need to be worked out before you can put it together. It may have to do with the bands' travel times, etc. But now we are finally done. You can find the schedule here

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...
