So we can then present the last three acts that are ready for our pre-party on the 4th of July. First up is the Bourbon Boys, led by Raubtier's Pär Hulkoff, who will deliver his mix of country and southern rock, cast in a northern mold. Sweden's very own rednecks are coming to Knsilinge!
From Glasgow comes the classic metal band from "back in the days", namely Heavy Pettin', which many of us who were hard rockers in the 80s remember with songs like "Sole Survivor" and "In and out of Love" among others.
We finish with a band that we just think is as good as any and then we talk about the pride of Dalarna, Andy And The Rockets. The perfect mix between rockabilly and Volbeat. You will love them!
Already ready for the pre-party are Bullet, Creedence Tribute and John Lindberg Trio.
Buy your 3-day ticket before the New Year (Or until they run out. We take in a maximum of 4000 visitors that day), and you get the pre-party for free. If there are tickets left, we will release 1-day tickets for the pre-party at the end of January. Welcome!

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...

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown to Time To Rock Almost 60 years ago, musical icon Arthur Brown stepped out on stage, five-foot tall flames leaping from his head, and uttered one of rock music's most stirring lines: "I am the God of Hellfire". At that point, the British theatrical rocker who brought us the Crazy World of Arthur Brown in '68 had no way of knowing that he would come to be seen as a major pioneer in not only progressive rock and heavy metal, but the entire concept of what makes a stage show. He's influenced generations of musicians who searched for an edge, from King Diamond, Kiss, and...

Loudness to Time To Rock Loudness (Jap) In 1981, guitarist Akira Takasaki and drummer Munetaka Higuchi formed Loudness. The band, which was complemented by bassist Masayoshi Yamashita and vocalist Minoro Niihara, is probably one of Japan's hardest working bands with around 30 studio albums, around 10 live albums and a number of compilation albums over 45 years. The first studio album "The Birthday Eve" came in 1981 and their latest "Sunburst" in 2021. The band's two most streamed songs are called "Crazy Night" and "Soldier of Fortune".
