European Music Festivals

Sonisphere Festival
The idea for Sonisphere was first conceived when Stuart Galbraith, was working for now business rivals and organisers of Download Festival, Live Nation. The plan was to hold a series of events that would 'translate into other territories'.

The event did not begin to materialise however, until Galbraith left Live Nation for events company Kilamanjaro Live. Galbraith gained the support of influential metal band Metallica who will help curate the festival in coming years, however, rumours were quickly denied of them being signed to a multi million pound deal which would see them headline the festival for three years.

Galbraiths' plans for future festivals are to expand the number of festivals making the event global rather than local to Europe, expanding the UK event to a 3 day festival.

Cinderella at Sweden Rock 2010
Cinderella were, just like Y&T in 2003 and Tesla in 2008, a band that I have always loved but never got to see, before their concerts at SRF. And just like with them, my expectations were high because of the bands talent and musical strength.

Gary Moore at Sweden Rock 2010
When we first got the reports that Gary Moore had abandoned his boring blues journey to start playing the hard rock he used to do so well, it sounded almost that we, the fans had won the Gary Moore lottery.

Opeth at Sweden Rock 2010
First of all, I’m a big Opeth fan so I’m not sure about my objectivity here. I have also seen them live a couple of times before and they are an amazing live act.

W.A.S.P at Sweden Rock 2010
The last time I saw WASP were back in 1999 and they made a very good gig. In later years I’ve lost interest a bit, much due to the pretty weak albums they’ve put out.

Black Stone Cherry at Sweden Rock 2008
With only one album that wasn't exactly platinum and the fact they were billed at noon on the 2nd day of the festival, you might not expect a huge energetic crowd...

Disturbed at Sweden Rock 2008
When Disturbed were booked for this years Sweden Rock Festival many voices were raised

Hanoi Rocks at Sweden Rock 2008
I kinda felt sorry for Hanoi Rock...or maybe I felt sorry for me because Hanoi Rocks were great.

RATT at Sweden Rock 2008
Ratt have loads of great songs, they have a great drummer in Bobby Blotzer,
