Det finns inte många band som har revolutionerat en hel genre, men kollektivet Wu-Tang Clan kan ha lämnat det största avtrycket i hip hopen någonsin. Det är med bankande nostalgihjärtan som vi stolt kan välkomna dessa kultförklarade MCs till Bråvallafestivalens line-up.

Det legendariska New York-baserade kollektivet Wu-Tang Clan har sedan mitten av 90-talet dominerat hiphopscenen både som grupp och soloartister. Orginalmedlemmarna Ghostface Killah, GZA, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, Method Man, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Raekwon, RZA och U-God revolutionerade hela genren med deras hardcore hiphop och skapade en egen mytomspunnen värld. Idag är konstellationen något annorlunda men faktum kvarstår -Wu-Tang Clan tillsammans på scen är en magisk händelse du bara måste uppleva...

Med bara två dagar kvar till jul släpper vi idag ytterligare sex tunga akter till Getaway Rock 2015. Vilket blir en tidig julklapp för alla metalfans! Vi är superglada att kunna presentera det grymma livebandet At The Gates och New Wave of British Heavy Metal-legenderna Saxon. Utöver de två ikoniska banden adderar vi även Carnifex, albumaktuella Deathstars, de svenska trashmetal-hjältarna Dr. Living Dead och Toxic Holocaust.

Saxon har sedan 80-talet varit ett av de mest framgångsrika banden i genren New Wave of British Heavy Metal. De har sedan dess fått ikonstatus och har fortsatt att släppa hits och succéalbum vilket gör dem lika aktuella idag. Nu är de tillbaka med en CD-box full av deras absolut bästa stunder. ”St...

Med julen runt hörnet kan det kännas långt kvar till festivalsommar och Bråvalla Festival 2015, men misströsta inte! Sex månader går fort och snart är vi äntligen där. Idag fyller vi på det redan imponerade festivalprogrammet med några riktigt tunga punk- och metalband. Vi välkomnar albumaktuella punkrockarna Rise Against och livefavoriterna A Day To Remember. De får sällskap av metalcorebandet Parkway Drive och de svenska giganterna Millencolin.

Få får ett sådant väl mottagande från både kritiker, press och publik som Rise Against fick med sitt album ”Revolutions Per Minute”. Efter det har de varit en kritikerfavorit och med albumet ”Appeal to Reason”, 2008, nådde bandet ut till de riktigt stora massorna...

The Sziget 2014 aftermovie has been released! And the aim is simple: trying to evoke the atmosphere of last August and providing a brief flashback of this year’s festival holiday in Budapest. Eight months before the start of the 2015 Island of Freedom, the Szitizen community is already shaping up, as more than 10% of the available passes have been sold. Sziget Festival takes place on a beautiful island in the heart of Budapest between 10-17 August 2015.

The festival holiday of 2014 has ended in August with a record weekly Szitizen crowd of 415.000, who arrived from more than 85 countries to Óbuda Island in Budapest. The 22^nd Sziget Festival has once again celebrated music and arts with more than 50 program venues all day and night for 7 days...

Here we are: about twenty days will have been enough for all the Hellfest 3 days passes to be sold! It’s the first time this happens: having to announce that the festival is ”sold out” before Christmas! However, as we promised you, we managed to keep some one-day tickets. They should be available by the beginning of January, as well as all the necessary details that will allow you to make a choice between Friday, Saturday or Sunday! Note that not everyone will be able to purchase these ”last chance” tickets, so you will have to struggle to obtain yours before other people, everything will probably happen in just a few minutes!

Within only 10 years, all together, we managed to impose our common passion of rock and metal on the podium of the big french and european festivals, and all of us c...

Idag är det fredag och sista dagen på bandsläppsveckan. Men vi har sparat det absolut bästa till sist. Vi är otroligt glada att kunna presentera en exklusiv spelning med ett av Sveriges största band – Kent! Med otaliga hits, storsäljande album och ett 40-tal musikutmärkelser är Kent ett av de mest inflytelserika svenska rockbanden genom tiderna. Spelningen på Bråvallafestivalen är den enda som bandet gör nästa sommar.

Eskilstunas kungar Kent är högaktuella med albumet Tigerdrottningen som släpptes tidigare i år. Albumet klev rakt in på albumlistans första plats både i Sverige och i Norge. Tigerdrottningen är bandets tionde listetta sedan de bildades i början av 90-talet...
