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!
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...

Leningrad Cowboys confirmed. Only show in Sweden. It's been 12 years since the Finnish band with the huge hairstyles and long shoes last performed, and those of you who have seen them live know that this is one of the world's absolute best and craziest live bands of all time. NO ONE leaves a gig with Leningrad Cowboys without a big smile on their face. 32 years ago, the band played the legendary gig at Senate Square in Helsinki in front of 70,000 spectators. The Red Army Choir was there then. Of course, they won't be doing that now, when singer Sakke Järvenpää is digging up the band...

Metal Dragon to open Time To Rock on 4th of July Since we at Time To Rock love crazy humor and everything that is independent, we naturally think that an upcoming Swedish comedy, which is about a fictional hard rock band, is just as fun as can be. The film, WE ARE METAL DRAGON, which is hitting theaters this spring , is directed by Titus Paar and the music is by Jake E (Cyhra, ex Amaranthe). Parts of the film were also recorded at Skogsröjet this summer. Now we can announce that METAL DRAGON will roll into Knislinge Rock City with their dragon house trailer and start Time To Rock with a...

It is basically impossible to pick three bands...

Only at Time To Rock - A Tribute to Gary Moore On February 6th 2011 the world lost one of, if not THE best, guitar players of all times. Born in Belfast, Gary Moore moved to Dublin in 1968 and joined the Irish blues rock band Skid Row where a certain Philip Lynott was one of the members. He then collaborated with Lynott through the years and jumped in as guitar player in Thin Lizzy several times, most notable as an official member on the epic album "Black Rose" from 1979. But it is of course as a solo artist we all know him. With groundbreaking albums like "Corridors of Power", "Victims...
