De norska denimhjältarna i Turbonegro står i sommar åter på svensk festivalmark, redo att köra över oss t-o-t-a-l-t. Vi får ett kärt återbesök i form av Electric Religions som återvänder till Getaway Rock och kan dessutom presentera åtta lokala akter som kommer representera Gävles rockscen under festivalen!

We bring You new confirmed bands led by cult black metal act MAYHEM. MAYHEM of corpse need no introduction, especially not at our fest, where they already had showed what they later confirmed withEsoteric Warfare, that they finally found tight line-up, which delivers great performance on stage and in studio as well. However the no-introduction-needed status may not be the case with Italian quartet AD NAUSEAM. AD NAUSEAM deliver extreme state-of-art death metal with no artistic compromises. Their music is still yet to be discovered by all the technical / avantgarde death metal maniacs but be sure this will rip Your head off, especially if you dig Gorguts’ avant-garde songwriting and the complexity of Ulcerate. Check their debut album here. Next news on the bill are ARCTURUS, the fam...

We’re sorry to inform You that Americans MASTODON will not play our festival this year despite their earlier confirmation. The reason is the band was offered great opportunity to tour the whole Canada on the same dates our festival takes place. Our negotiations led only to the conlusion that MASTODON will postpone their appearance to 2016. We’re very sorry but this situation was beyond our control. We’re working on getting another bands instead but the situation is very unfortunate. Regarding the line-up for this year, we want to pursue strong ’medium size bands’ line-up. This is our goal. In other news MUSHROOMHEAD and EMMURE also cancelled their show but we’re already negotiating about proper replacements. Next time some good news.
