Sham 69 was formed in Hersham, England back in 1975 and is today one of the big and most legendary punk bands within british working class punk. In their early career they had an audience that created a lot of violence and hooliganism during the bands shows. Today Sham 69 is one of the bands mentioned when you talk about the punk sub genre Oi! From the beginning the band was very much punk only but started slowly to move more towards classic British rock influenced by bands like The Who, Rolling Stones and Mott the Hopple. The sound of Sham 69 was and still is very singalong friendly with bombastic choruses, like football choirs. Listen to classic songs like "Hurry up Harry", "If the kids are United", "Borstal Breakout" and "Hersham Boys" and you will understand! The first period of the band lasted until 1980 and during six years they released four albums. Since their comeback in 1987 they have continued to release albums. As many other bands that are closing in on existing for 50 years, there has been several versions of the band and the last years there have been TWO different bands. But the Sham 69 that will play at Time To Rock is the the real Sham 69, 3/4 of "The original 1977 line-up" consisting of iconic frontman Jimmy Pursey, Dave Parsons (guitar), Dave Tregunna (bass). The band is completed by Robin Guy (drums). This is a show you don't wanna miss!
Three new acts confirmed!We are slowly but surely approaching a full line-up and today we can present three more acts that are ready for Time To Rock Festival 5-8 July 2024. For 40 years, DORO has worked to cement herself as Germany's, and probably the world's, hard rock queen ##1. Doro started her musical career at home in Germany in smaller bands like Snakebite and Beast before she started singing in Warlock. Warlock released four records in the 80s, from "Burning the Witches" (1984) to "Triumph and Agony" (1989). This summer she will join us at Time To Rock and we think that is...

Next year, Magnus "Adde" Andreasson celebrates 25 years on the drum stand, and already this year, guitarist Vic Zino, has his 15th anniversary in the band. Between 1998 and 2003 Hardcore Superstar released four records. In 2005, the band did a "Metallica" and released their self-titled and, coincidentally(?), black record. As a result, the...

Pretty Maids are back!PRETTY MAIDS (DK) If you grew up and were a "hard rocker" in the 80s, you obviously know Danish PRETTY MAIDS . In 1984, the band released their first full-length, "Red, Hot & Heavy" and who doesn't remember the title song and the opening "Back to Back" and others. A pure masterpiece!
