Sweden Rock Festival
# Sweden Rock Festival

Lo Sweden Rock Festival è un festival che si tiene annualmente in Svezia dal 1992, incentrato sulla musica rock.

La prima edizione si è svolta a Olofström, per le cinque edizioni successive la manifestazione si è spostata a Karlsham, ma dal 1998 si svolge a Norje, nei pressi di Sölvesborg.

Nel 1992 il festival prevedeva l'esibizione di sole nove bands, l'anno successivo fu esteso a due giorni e il livello delle band cominciò a salire, tanto che dall'edizione del 2000 la durata è stata portata tre giorni, per poi tornare a due dall'anno successivo. Nel 2003 al 2006 la durata è stata riportata a tre giornate, estese a quattro dal 2007.
