THat's a huge lineup, I bet it costs a shitload.

 

[Claus / Intromental]

4-day tickets are around 325 US$ ... then you also have to pay for the camping area. The place where it's at isn't really close to any airport so you'll also have to pay for transportation AND I can tell you that food and beer/water is expensive as hell in Sweden.

That said, the festival is fantastic. Very well arranged, and always a lot of fun. If you have that kind of money, don't think twice about going, it's definitely worth making that trip.

Sweden Rock is an awesome festival. I went 2006 and can't wait to go back. From the website, it appears that a 4-day ticket is 1,990 Swedish Krona which an online currency converter has it at 321.764 US Dollar.

Edit: You beat me Claus,

Thanks for reminding me since I can't really afford to go this year. I was telling a buddy at work about this today--his wife is Swedish, and she and the kids are going this summer, but he can't, so we were commiserating about the price of airfare there. Awesome lineup. But between airfare and the $300 tix, there's just no way I can do it. It sure helps with costs when your husband's on the bill.

Wacken and Hellfest are better imo. (and probably less expensive)

 

[dcowboys311]

Eh, not too many bands I'm interested in. Really the only ones I would like to see tour the US regularly except for Primordial, At the Gates, and Carcass

 

[Stingray11214]

That lineup makes one feel his age, lol.

 

[Heavenly Call]

I think that's hands down one of the strongest line-up of any festival anywhere in the last few years. ONE OF, not THE. But it is really badass. I always dream of going there and I always like the Sweden Rock Festival better than Wacken and Hellfest. More variety.

 

[dcowboys311]

I don't really see how there's more variety...Sweden Rock seems to cater to the 80s bands, power metal, a few mainstream rock bands, and a few oddballs here or there. Wacken and Hellfest have a good mix of death, black, thrash, traditional, power, metalcore, doom, folk, and even a few punk and mainstream rock bands thrown in.

I've been fortunate enough to fly over for a number of European rock/metal festivals (including Wacken, Dynamo, Gods of Metal, Graspop, Waldrock and others) and can say that Sweden Rock is my favorite.

Obviously what you're looking for line-up wise makes a difference, and everyone has different tastes. Why do I rank Sweden Rock at the top? Mainly...

1) The line-up is almost always fantastic, and hits a nice cross-section. I've seen great blues rock (Robin Trower, Chris Duarte), 80's (Y&T, Journey, Def Leppard), death metal (Obituary, Behemoth), prog (Pagan's Mind, Magic Pie) and lots more there.

2) The weather is killer - sunny and warm. It's only rained part of one day in the four times I've been.

3) Very well organized and easy to get around; nice camping areas as well. Tons of cool people from all over the world to meet and hang with.

Yes, it's the most expensive European fest that I know of, but well worth the trip! Hope this helps.

Has Manowar ever played this fest and will they play there this year?

Yeah I totally agree. Carcass and ATG are tag-teaming every Euro fest so I really fail to see what makes this one so special.

That is one sweet lineup! I'd like to go to Sweden Rock one day...*dreams on*

 

[caex]

Wacken and Hellfest are better imo. (and probably less expensive)

A ticket to Wacken is about $150.64

A ticket to Hellfest is about $165.85

and, just as an addition:

A ticket to Metalcamp for all 5 days, is about $173.45

I'd much rather go to any of those three than Sweden Rock Festival

Up above Claus answered the 4-day ticket question:

If I wasn't going to be in the final week of classes at this time, the wife and I would be going.

Thanks..... yeah, I saw Claus's post, but didn't know about this nifty site!

 

[General Zod]

OK... we're going. Sweden Rock just added Satyricon and Ratt (along with Black Stone Cherry and Apocalyptica... who I care nothing about).

Primordial, Satyricon and Tesla are now at the same event? Damn!

Does anyone know how quickly this usually sells out?
