Getaway Rock Festival Sweden
2010 was the first year for Getaway Rock Festival and it was a successful one - The aim with the festival is to create something new within the Hard Rock scene as the organisers recognised there was a gap to fill. What they experienced with existing festivals was the lack of good bands, unique area, accessibility, service and concept, and it was hoped to change this with the launch of Getaway Rock Festival. Once the guests walk into the arena, the feeling of Getaway Rock festival will create an instant atmosphere different to all other festivals. With the 2011 festival also selling out, with bands like Alice Cooper, The Darkness and Hammerfall there is a wide mix of hard rock music for everyone to check out!
I have seen Alice Cooper on several occasions, but I must say that this concert was one of the best ones I have seen. His backing band are always really tight and this was no exception to the rule.
I was never a big Hammerfall fan. I am still not. In fact when they broke through I thought they were ridiculous and sounded like a poor man’s Iron Maiden or something like that. But what I didn’t realise is that they probably are...
I have seen Opeth on several occasions now and they never fail me. Normally their kind of music, progressive death metal mixed with Pink Floydish melodies, keeping both melodic growl with clean singing!
This was one concert I was looking forward to most at the whole festival. First, I missed them at Sweden Rock earlier this year due to other commitments (beer and Jaeger…).
Yes, The Poodles is a crappy name. And yes, I am sure
Boy, did I feel sorry for these guys. Dynazty are a band recently known to the public
Oh my God. What a disaster. I’m really not sure what to write here, but
Having never seen Evergrey live before, despite owning lots of their records and liking the band very much, this was a gig I was really looking forward to
When Papa Roach had their breakthrough, we wrote early 2000 and nu metal was the big thing. Together with Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit, the Roaches were the biggest hype of that era
Hardcore Superstar are playing everywhere right now and I really dunno what to write that hasn’t already been written.
