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!

Running Order complete! So we can present the full schedule for this summer's festival. There are always a few things that need to be worked out before you can put it together. It may have to do with the bands' travel times, etc. But now we are finally done. You can find the schedule here

Last band out: Dirkschneider! When Udo played under the name Dirkschneider in 2016/2017, it was under the slogan "Last chance to hear Accept songs with Udo Dirkschneider live", of which TTR 2017 (then Helgeåfestivalen) was one of the gigs. U.D.O. would never play their Accept hits again. Not even "Fast As a Shark" or "Balls to the Wall". Of course, this has not been possible. A treasure chest of songs like this cannot be left in the attic, at least not if the fans are allowed to decide. Now the gang is back with us, albeit in a slightly different setting. Udo and his son...
