They played at Roskilde Festival at the very beginning of their career, and they are in the top 3 when Roskilde Festival asks the audience about their favorite bands to perform at the festival.

In 2014, they finally return to Roskilde Festival’s main stage, Orange Stage, for an exclusive show in Scandinavia. And with the latest release AM, they are bringing along with them one of the best albums in their career.

Nästa år ger sig IRON MAIDEN ut på turnén ”Maiden England World Tour” och spelningen på Bråvalla blir den enda som bandet gör i Sverige. Den extremt framgångsrika turnén ”Maiden England World Tour” har tagit sitt namn från den klassiska liveupptagningen från Birmingham 1988 och baseras på hits samt fanfavoriter från 1980-talet, varav vissa kommer bli framförda live för sista gången någonsin. Iron Maidens manager Rod Smallwood förklarar:

– Som alla våra fans känner till är ”Maiden England” den tredje delen ...

Danish superstar Trentemøller performs his only concert in Denmark on Roskilde Festival’s Orange Stage this summer.

Trentemøller is high demand all over the world as a producer, DJ, songwriter and composer.

At Denmark’s Roskilde Festival in 2014, Trentemøller will deliver a live show that is likely to cross the analogue indie rock with streams of bubbling synths and techno beats as heard on his recent album Lost.

Trentemøller’s show on the Orange Stage will also be the only chance to experience this huge talent in his native country this summer.

Roskilde Festival’s program director Anders Wahren says:

”It’s been almost five years since Trentemøller last visited Roskilde Festival, so we think it’s about time he demonstrates his international reach and unique talent again to Ro...

Förra året slog Getaway Rock Festival i Gävle nytt publikrekord med 13 500 sålda biljetter. Då toppades affischerna av bland andra System Of A Down samt Deep Purple. Nu kan vi presentera det första bandet till nästa års festival – danska Volbeat är klara för Getaway Rock 2014.

Då publiken röstat om vilka band de helst vill se på nästa års Getaway Rock Festival tillhörde danska Volbeat de mest efterfrågade. Anledningen till det är så klart deras enormt energifyllda konserter, för även om Volbeat är lysande på skiva är det live som de ska upplevas.

Genom att blanda friskt mellan hårdrock, rock och 50-talssväng i form av rockabillyinfluenser har Volbeat erövrat så väl Danmark som stora delar av övriga världen sedan debutskivan The Strength / The Sound / The Soul släp...
