'''Sweden Rock Festival''' is a [[rock festival]] outside the town of Sölvesborg in [[Blekinge]] in southern [[Sweden]]. The festival offers the best possible mix of classic rock, hard rock, metal, blues and related genres.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Sweden Rock|url=https://www.swedenrock.com/en/festival/about-the-festival/what-is-the-sweden-rock-festival|website = swedenrock.com|access-date = June 12, 2023}}</ref>
'''Sweden Rock Festival''' is an annual [[rock and roll|rock]]/[[metal]] festival held in [[Sweden]] since [[June 6]], [[1992]]. While having a clear rock/metal focus, the festival is noted for its diversity across these genres, having featured [[southern rock]] bands such as [[Molly Hatchet]] to [[death metal]] legends like [[Obituary (band)|Obituary]].


The first version of the festival was held in [[Olofström]], with nine bands performing. The next five years, the festival was held in [[Karlshamn]], but this was changed in [[1998]]. Since then the festival has been held in [[Norje]], outside [[Sölvesborg]].
The first version of the festival, known as '''Sommarfestivalen i Olofström''', was held in [[Olofström]] in 1992. In 1993 the festival moved to [[Karlshamn]], and changed its name to '''Karlshamn Rock Festival'''. In 1998, the festival moved to [[Norje]], although the name Karlshamn Rock Festival was kept. In 1999 the name was changed to the Sweden Rock Festival.


When the festival first began in 1992, it featured nine relatively unknown bands and it only lasted one day. The next year the festival was expanded to two days and more bands were added to the line-up. From [[1993]] to [[2002]] the festival would last two days; over those years it would also begin to feature bigger name acts. In [[2000]] the festival was expanded to three days but it returned to two days the following year.

Sweden Rock Festival is a rock festival outside the town of Sölvesborg in Blekinge in southern Sweden. The festival offers the best possible mix of classic rock, hard rock, metal, blues and related genres.[1]

The first version of the festival, known as Sommarfestivalen i Olofström, was held in Olofström in 1992. In 1993 the festival moved to Karlshamn, and changed its name to Karlshamn Rock Festival. In 1998, the festival moved to Norje, although the name Karlshamn Rock Festival was kept. In 1999 the name was changed to the Sweden Rock Festival.

When the festival began in 1992, it featured nine relatively unknown bands and it only lasted one day. The next year the festival was expanded to two days and more bands were added to the line-up. From 1993 to 2002 the festival would last two days; over those years it would also begin to feature bigger name acts. In 2000 the festival was expanded to three days but it returned to two days the following year.

From 2003 to 2006 the festival lasted three days and had by then featured some of the biggest acts. From 2007 the festival has been expanded to four days and will feature approximately 120 different bands/artists.

Some notable appearances in the past have been Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Mötley Crüe, Dio, Bruce Dickinson, Yngwie Malmsteen, Twisted Sister, Whitesnake, Uriah Heep, Europe, Deep Purple, Accept, Motörhead, Saxon, Nazareth, Poison, Status Quo, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Scorpions, Porcupine Tree, Kamelot, Def Leppard, Alice Cooper, Testament, W.A.S.P, ZZ Top, The Orchestra, Thin Lizzy, Ted Nugent, Slayer and Guns N' Roses.

The festival has also worked as a comeback scene for bands like Triumph and Thundersteel line-up Riot.

Bachman & Turner started their world reunion tour here in June 2010. In 2013 both Rush and Kiss together with Europe were headliners for the festival.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused the festival to be cancelled in 2020 and 2021.
