September 23, 2009, 15 years ago
Next year's Sweden Rock Festival will take place in Sölvesborg, Blekinge from June 9th - 12th.
Organizers have issued the following update:
This year's Sweden Rock Festival made a new attendance record with 35, 200 visitors. Next year only 33, 000 visitors will be admitted to the festival area.
Sweden Rock Festival 2009 was a great success, making an attendance record and receiving loads of accolades from audience, artists and media alike. For instance, Britain's Classic Rock magazine called Sweden Rock Festival the world's greatest outdoor festival, and Germany's Rock It! claimed that Sweden Rock offers the greatest festival experience in Europe by far.
Still, following its own evaluation, the festival promoters have reached the conclusion that it is necessary to restrict the number of tickets for purchase, to ensure that the visitors will have the optimal festival experience.
"Sweden Rock Festival never intended to be the biggest. We intend to be the greatest", comments the festival's founder Ingolf Persson.
No more than 33, 000 visitors will gain admittance to next year's festival, compared to this year's attendance figures of 35, 200 people and last year's number of 33, 200 people.
Sweden Rock Festival will take place in Sölvesborg, Blekinge on the 9th-12th of June, 2010. The first tickets will be made available October 1st.
