IRON MAIDEN, GHOST, DEF LEPPARD, MÖTLEY CRÜE Confirmed for Sweden Rock Festival 2023; Video trailer
The 30th edition of the Sweden Rock Festival takes place in Sölvesborg on June 7-10, 2023. Organizers have issued the following:
“This summer we celebrate our 30th festival by hosting the biggest and baddest rock party in Sweden’s history! And today we present the first four acts of the 2023 lineup.
As part of the celebration, opening night is becoming a full festival day, making for four full days of festivities with all five stages running! More than 90 bands will perform, and today we are pleased to present four of them:
Iron Maiden is one of the biggest and most legendary metal bands of all time. In 2018 they played one of the most acclaimed concerts in the history of Sweden Rock – this summer they return with a brand new show The Future Past tour, with some epic tracks from their latest chart topper Senjutsu along with a focus on the 1986 classic Somewhere in Time. A collection of classic cuts from the rest of his career is also promised!
This past summer, the exceptionally successful “The Stadium Tour” saw Mötley Crüe team up with Def Leppard to expose North America to some of the greatest party rock songs ever made. The couple is now taking their circus across the Atlantic, and of course Sölvesborg has to be part of the tour plan!
Sweden’s premier theatrical rock outfit Ghost brings its phantasmagoric live ritual to Sweden Rock for the first time since 2011. Be enchanted by Papa Emeritus IV and his Nameless Ghouls when they headline the last night of this summer’s 30th anniversary edition of Sweden Rock-and bear witness to Ghost’s live experience as the media call a “euphoric spectacle” (Rolling Stone) and “the next generation of arena stars” (The Wall Street Journal).
Confirmed show dates:
Wednesday June 7: Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard
Friday June 9: Iron Maiden
Saturday 10 June: Ghost
Another 88 bands to be announced!”
