Ha didn't know THE KRISTET UTSEENDE were still going.
They'd be fucking hillarious to see live.

by **Metalwrath** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 5:55 am

Manowar were booked for Getaway many months ago.
The announcements for that festival were delayed because of soem change over of management as whatever company was previously running Getaway rock festival went insolvent.

Gävle, 5,6,7 July, 2012

http://www.getawayrock.se/festival/

First info rleased today less than 3 hours ago

First bands announced:
Manowar
Nightwish
Ministry
Raubtier
Anathema

Thank you gnoff!! :cheers:

Ok. This one is now on my radar. The timing of this is better than Tuska since I end up having to take the first two weeks of July off for automotive plant's shutdown most every year. I wouldn't have to use any extra vacation days to do this. I'll keep an eye on the lineup, but seeing Manowar in a festival setting seems pretty sweet.

Any idea on what some good accommodations for this festival would be?

Not planned, but might, are you going?
Need a room mate?

I'd love to go, but it's just not going to happen :-(

Also according to the Sweden Rock site, Blind Guardian are another one of the bands playing.

I highly recommend this festival. I was there in 2010 and enjoyed it a lot. It's small so you all the bands very well, you can see the stage from the bar as well :cheers:

We stayed in a hotel in the city center, many bands were staying there as well. It was a half an hour walk to the festival area. Now I don't rememeber the name of the hotel, but I can look it up for you if you want. We got a good price too :)

No plans of yet, could be interesting that far north and in MArch to wear them on the way there and back, since it might be really cold

the leather might freeze!

Saw Soundgarden live 2 or 3 times and his voice was shit every time. I really like his studio work and lyric writing but really must have caught him at the wrong times cuz I just grew to dread hearing him perform despite digging the band a lot

Well, I was sold on Sweden Rock till Motley were announced as headliners and promptly lost all interest, but now the lineup is rounding out nicely. When does it usually sell out ?

Ghost
Amon Amarth
Rosetta [US]
HolyHell [US]

gnaaaargh!
AA is playing, but I don't want to go since Manowar plays, fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

Don't worry there is plenty of time for Manowar to cancel playing at the festival with the ' promoter Fails To Fulfill Contractual Obligations ' excuse :lol:

I am still considering it, so if your friend's Sister's house crashing plans fall through, maybe we can arrange something?

This site:
http://www.excits.se/sweden-rock-festival_.html

Seems to sell "all in packages"

I've never used it myself and can not tell you how good or safe it is, but it was linked from the official SRF page, so "should" be OK

Example text:
As Sweden Rocks Official Partner provides eXcits worldwide unique hotel package that includes 4-day tickets, accommodation and transfers. Choose from several different hotels.

They seem also to have only "accomodation" only if that is preferable

Sweden Rock Festival denied Viathyn. It is officially on my shit list

Yep, I'll go see them so I can tell Kevin I did

And about Sweden Rock this year...not sure yet.
Graspop is in the same month and is my "home" for like 8 years in a row (skipped 2006 due to miscalculated vacation).
But having a Swedish girlfriend makes Sweden Rock an option some day.
