Sweden Rock is the given place where Jimmie Åkesson will put his voice in the EU election. The music thunders when he takes a group of sympathizers to the small library in Norje on the festival's first day. SD is clearly the rockiest party in Sweden, thinks SD leader.

Jimmie Åkesson has already had a first concert with the heavy metal band Dream Evil and is sweaty on his forehead under his black cap. He feels at home here – partly because Norje is located in his hometown of Sölvesborg in Blekinge, partly because middle-aged men dominate the audience.

Many have followed his urging in social media to hang out and vote.

The Öland couple Mikael and Sofie Klasson are ready with their voter cards.

For SD, with many EU-critical voters, the challenge is to get their sympathizers to go and vote. Åkesson himself is unsure what effect the election campaign has had.

There has been great focus on SD after TV4's revelation about the party's use of anonymous accounts in social media.

Isn't all publicity good publicity?

SD voter Linus Lundgren from Borås, also ready with his voter card, does not believe that the party's sympathizers are affected by such revelations.

Jimmie Åkesson hopes to have more election campaigns ahead. He has more to give, he thinks.
