Here´s a GREAT song from 1989 that you can catch live on September 11. This will be Kingdom Come´s only European show in 2010, so be sure to not miss it! Time to Rock Out! Love, Chris

Saturday night at the Rock Out office…Just realized its only 19 days left, wow, time flies. I remember on May 2nd, i then felt it was a long long way left to Part 2, cant believe we are almost there! Hope all of you are getting ready for two REALLY special days, i know how much everybody loved Part 1, i have a feeling this is gonna top that day, even though it was a killer day for sure! So lets hope for a success so we can have many Rock Outs ahead of us, its kinda up to you If you like it, then we will go on, If not, then we will always have Paris;) Hope all is having a great rockin Saturday, Over and Out from Chris…Here´s a killer video and song for you, that we can experience in 3 weeks, Live for the first time in Sweden for 24 years!! Love and Respect!, Chris

We are sad to announce that due to the upcoming european tour with Guns n Roses, Dizzy Reed wont be able to perform at Stockholm Rock Out Part 3.

At the same time we can proudly announce that Danger Danger´s Ted Poley is confirmed to Stockholm Rock Out Part 3 on October 16. This will be his first Solo performance ever in Sweden! Enjoy the GREAT “Naughty Naughty” from Danger Danger´s debut album and get your tickets now, we have two legendary Rock Out´s coming up!

All of you that were at the Rock Out on May 1st witnessed something rare and special, Zinny Zan and Stixx formerly of Shotgun Messiah joined the stage for the first time in 20 years with Chris Laney and rocked three Shotgun Messiah classics, it was so amazing to see…As a kid this band was my absolute favorite band, i still think their debut album is one of the best coming out of sweden in this genre. So a couple of hours ago i got a text message from Zinny asking if i had room for him doing a couple of songs on September 10 and that this would be his LAST performance …So i am REALLY honored to confirm that Zinny will do a couple of his classics together with Chris Laney! My idea with Stockholm Rock Out from day 1 has been that we are gonna give something special to the fans, things you dont see everywhere else and things you might not expect. And this really is one of those moments, this is soemthing a true rockfan shouldnt miss, i wanna be frontrow of this show! Thats all folks, wish you all a rockin and lovin friday! I Raise my glas for you Zinny and listen to this classic song “Dont care bout nothing”. Cheers! /Chris

Stockholm Rock Out Part 2 – Running Order

Hi everybody!

This is my first blog post so I thought I’d take the opportunity to tell you a little about my involvement with Stockholm Rock Out. My name is Christian Wallin and I’m a graphic artist and illustrator. Sometime late last year Chris got in touch with me about making a logo for a festival he was planning. I was excited to work on the logo although I never anticipated just how big an event the festival would be. We came up with the Rock Out-girl and from there on I’ve been in charge of a lot of the graphics for the festival. I can’t tell you how thrilling it’s been to watch the line-up grow over the last couple of months, adding one fantastic act after another to the posters and flyers. Chris definitely has a knack for booking great bands, and does so at mind-blowing speed. Updating posters is a pretty easy job, but it can be hard keeping up with him Less then a month to go the roster now is full, and it includes an amazing number of acts, some of them personal favourites such as Fatal Smile and John Corabi. September 10th and 11th will be a truly unique event!

But for me personally it gets even better. Not only do I get the honour of doing the graphics for this amazing festival. I get to play at it too. My band Killer Clan of F.U.N. will be opening on the Tube stage on the 10th. It will be pretty cool to be the first band out of the gates and get to kick off this big party. We will put on one hell of a show as usual, I can promise you that. Can’t wait to see you all!

/Christian
