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!
Erik Grönwall to Time To Rock Never has the interest been so great for an individual artist as when Erik Grönwall sang with Michael Schenker at Time To Rock 2025. So when the chance came, we really wanted to have Erik at the festival again in 2026, when he is now investing heavily in a solo career. We in Sweden should be proud towe have such a star in rock music. A fantastic voice, an entertainer on stage and a humble "one of the guys" personality are just some of the ingredients that make Erik Grönwall who he is. He is so much more than just a...

10CC confirmed to play Time To Rock! "I'm Not In Love" may be 10 CC's biggest hit, but contrary to what many believe, the sound of that song is not typical of the British band. 10 CC was formed in Stockport in 1972 and, like their compatriots in The Beatles, frontman Graham Gouldman and his friends were not afraid to experiment with music. Ballads like the aforementioned song were therefore mixed with the reggae-scented "Dreadlock Holiday", the rocking "Art For Art's Sake" etc. The band has made a number of songs worth noting, e.g. "The Wall Street Shuffle" and "Rubber Bullets". Perhaps our more local visitors like "Johnny...

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...
