Initially known as Helge \u00c5 Festival<\/strong>, in honor of the river that passes directly through the festival area, the organization of the festival itself decided to change the name of the festival to Time To Rock in 2022<\/strong> after fifteen years with its previous name, with the intention to strengthen its position as a festival both at the state and international level. Its organizers have very clear ideas, Time To Rock<\/strong> must unify hard rock, blues and heavy metal in a single place: The People’s Park<\/strong> in Knislinge<\/strong>, a unique event for music lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forementioned park would host a total of forty-five bands from the aforementioned genres for four days, with some room for British punk such as The Toy Dolls<\/strong>. The first day, July 7, began with the performance of local Sl\u00e4kkten<\/strong>, a young peasant rock group that combines folk music with current rock. They have been active since 2015, although their debut EP did not arrive until 2018, an album called Hembygden<\/em><\/strong> that you can find on Spotify. Since then the band has changed their way of working and has opted to release singles on a regular basis rather than unifying everything into a single release, and they have eleven releases since their debut<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quintet from the city of G\u00f6inge had already participated in the previous edition of the festival as a guest band within the VIP area, and apparently they liked it so much that the organization has decided to include them in this new edition as part of the poster for the entire public, and I must admit that it was a success. Great performance by these five crazy young people on stage whose mission was to open the festival, an objective more than achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next it was the turn of the Swedish composer and musician Mats Ronander<\/strong> under his own band Mats Ronander Band<\/strong>. The famous musician has participated with a large number of Swedish bands and groups, sharing backstage with members of Peps & the Blues Quality<\/strong> or the guitarist Lasse Wellander<\/strong>, known for being part of ABBA<\/strong>. The event was more than attractive since a musician of Mats Ronander’s caliber usually offers a lot of play on stage, however on this occasion the Swedish composer did not seem to have the best of days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
