THE RODS TO REPLACE METAL CHURCH
Published: February 9 2024 at 13:44
American, classic metal from the 80s, fronted by singer and guitarist David Feinstein - The Rods! Between 1967 and 1973, David Feinstein was in the band Elf with his cousin, Ronnie James Dio. David managed to quit the band before Elf became classic Rainbow and around 1980 he formed and drummer Carl Canedy THE RODS, which was a much harder band than the two previously mentioned. One can find similarities with both Saxon and Manowar. The band had a hiatus between 1986 and 2010, but has since the reunion been all the time active. In addition to David and Carl, the band today consists of bassist Freddy Villano. The trio has just released the full-length "Rattle the Cage" to great reviews. With song titles such as "Let Them Eat Metal", "Brotherhood of Metal", "I Just Wanna Rock", "Born To Rock" and more, we can expect hard rock poetry of the best kind when The Rods enter our stage in Knislinge for first time. The gig will also be the only one in Sweden, so don't miss this! WE think we have succeeded in finding a worthy replacement. Hope you agree with us.

Easy Action to Time To Rock Easy Action was formed in 1981 and with the help of their image and artist name, the band became so much LA that the record company guys most likely didn't even realize that it was a Swedish band. For album number two, "That Makes One" (1986), the group had focused more on melodic rock and also managed to recruit Tommy Nilsson , the best Swedish rock voice of the 80s alongside Joey Tempest, as a singer. The album was well received and songs such as "Talk of the Town", "Teachers Do It With Class" and "Rosie" still hold up well today....

Half ticket price for youth 2026 News for Time To Rock 2026 - half price for youth between 13-18 We have previously had free admission for children between 3-13 years. We will of course continue with this. But for the 2026 festival, we will also release a youth ticket for all those who have turned 13, but not turned 18. We obviously want to help do our bit, so that the resurgence of "rockers" will be better and we know that it can be expensive for a family to, for example, pay full price for their teenage children. The prices of artists and stages, lights, sound etc...

Thank you! We really want to thank you, our wonderful audience, the artists and our awesome staff, for another fantastic year. Sold out camping and we also broke the audience record once again. Add to that a fantastic atmosphere that all of you who were here helped create over four days of rock n roll. We are really humbled, happy and proud of the fact that our little festival has managed to grow, just enough, so that we can still offer the convivial feeling that we know you all value highly. We certainly hope that those of you who have been here have...
