This year the festival outside Sölvesborg was opened by the band Europe. On the last day, Malmsteen, Magnus Uggla and Bring Me the Horizon also played.
Over 90 bands played during the four days of the hard rock festival. For example, Iron Maiden, Volbeat, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and The Hellacopters performed in front of tens of thousands of people.
Last year, a number of phones were reported stolen during the festival. The police suspected a gang of thieves. For this year's festival, police increased their presence at concerts on the main stages, and there have been no reports of mass phone theft.
