Time To Rock

Published: October 1 2022 at 12:55

For 15 years we called our festival Helge Å Festival (after the river running straight pass the area), but as we wanted to strengthen our position both in Sweden, but also internationally, we dediced to use the slogan "Time To Rock" as our name instead, so in 2022 we became "TIME TO ROCK FESTIVAL".
Our goal is to deliver the perfect blend between, rock, blues, classic hard rock and heavy metal.

Our basic idea is that we want to deliver a festival the way WE want to experience it.

We want a cozy and laid back athmosphere and a close relation between us, the organizers and the festival audience. We also find it important that our audience can feel close to the artists as well, so we aim to optimize the festival experience and avoid an overcrowded festival area. Congestions is another thing that we don't like, so we work hard to have as short queues at the main gate, the bars, the food trucks, merchandise stands etc. We like space! We want our audience to feel that they are the center of the universe when they spend a weekend with us!

Time To Rock has been called the nicest and coziest festival in Sweden and we believe the secret is our good level of service, beautiful location at the shores of Helge River and the familiar athmosphere. We will fight hard to live up to that and together we can make the best festival ever in 2023! Welcome!

The Anti-Queens cancel. Scarlet steps in! Scarlet is the name of the alternative metal duo that stirred this year's Melodifestivalen ( Sweden's qualification contest for Eurovision) pot together with Smash Into Pieces. Scarlet made it as far as the finals with "Circus X", which shows that their theatrical rock went home in the cottages. The two anonymous front figures call themselves Scarlet Hunts and Thirsty and are made up like skeletons and vampires respectively. Scarlet was started in 2018 and with only a couple of singles on Spotify, they were on Sweden's big festival stages in 2019, including the Sweden Rock Festival. That gig made Scarlet a...

THE RODS TO REPLACE METAL CHURCH 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...

Regular campsite is already fully booked! The interest in this year's festival is greater than ever and the regular campsite is already fully booked! This applies to both caravans, mobile homes and tents. This then means that we will extend the campsite and make it twice as big as before. This means that those of you who book your places now end up in the new part of the campsite, but it is still very close to the festival area. The name of the new campsite will be CAMP EXTENSION. The fact that we are extending the campsite also means that we are extending the amenities. We...

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...

Hardcore Superstar confirmed! It's been a few years since the last time, so we thought it was about time again for this bunch of real rock stars! Hardcore Superstar was formed in 1997. Since the beginning, the Gothenburg band's permanent members have been singer Joakim Berg and bassist Martin Sandvik. 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...
