Bråvalla Festival fyller på med fyrtal i rockess

Idag kan vi avslöja fyra nya grymma bokningar till Bråvalla Festival som går av stapeln i Norrköping mellan den 25-27 juni.

Faith No Mores musik har levt genom fem presidenter, flertalet krig, ekonomiska upp- och nedsvängningar, global härdsmälta och revolutionära återfödelser. Under 80- och 90-talet blev de gränsöverskridande metal-pionjärerna soundtracket till en tid av förändring, nu på 2000talet har det legendariska bandet utvecklats ännu en gång för att återvända med det kraftfulla nya albumet, ”Sol Invictus”, och ett nytt fokus

Getaway Rock fyller på med Backyard Babies, Suicide Silence och Betraying the Martyrs

Mitt i den djupaste vintern kan vi stolt presentera tre nya, tunga namn till festivalsommaren i Gävle och Getaway Rock.

Till festivalprogrammet adderar vi även deathcore-fransoserna Betraying the Martyrs.

”Vad säger ni om vi berättar att pausen är över? Tack för ert tålamod!”. Så löd tweeten som under våren 2014 förkunnade att Backyard Babies, ett av Sveriges absolut största rockband, äntligen är tillbaka efter en fem år lång tystnad.

Det legendariska New York-baserade kollektivet Wu-Tang Clan har sedan mitten av 90-talet dominerat hiphopscenen både som grupp och soloartister.
