I get some questions regarding the upcoming SRO Part 2, so I just wanted to write some down here to avoid any misunderstandings.

  • Q: I have the original ticket for April 30-May 1, does this give me entrance on September 10-11?

A:Yes, if you didnt do a buyback for the postponed SRO this is valid for September, if you bought the ticket for the “new” May 1st show it is not valid for September

  • Q: Is my original ticket for April 30-May 1 also valid for SRO Part 3 on October 16? 

A: No, for SRO Part 3 you will have to buy a new ticket

  • Q: Will I who did NOT do a buyback of the April 30 – May 1 SRO ticket still get my FREE Tshirt?

A: Yes ofcourse, just as promised you will get this at the entrance on September 10-11. This is a special design Tshirt for you, so its not possible to buy it anywhere else! 

  • Q: What is the age limit for Stockholm Rock Out?

For all Stockholm Rock Out´s in 2010 it is 13+ and for the bar it is 18+

  • Q: Where can i find the Running Order for SRO Part 2?

A: Right here http://www.sthlmrockout.com/running-order/

  • Q: Is it possible to buy ticket on door?

A: Yes it is, but cash only accepted on door

  • Q: Due to the postponed show on April 30-May 1, I wonder will this show actually take place?

YES, nothing can stop this show! We have had some difficulties for sure, but artists are paid and flights have been bought, so in the next couple of days Stockholm will be full of rockstars! :)

If you have any further questions send an email to chris@sthlmrockout.com or give me a call.

Get ready to Rock Out!

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

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!

All our thoughts and prayers for Jack Russell for a quick recovery. But what really made me happy was Great White´s will to work out something good out of this situation, and then i woke up this morning with a phonecall saying we had Paul Shortino confirmed as replacement for the show on September 11 and then to speak to Paul in person was great, so today has been a killer day compared to yesterday evening…I am a big fan of Paul´s previous work, Quiet Riot, Rough Cutt and his solo stuff, so its a great honor to be the first promotor to present Paul Shortino for the first time ever on Swedish ground!

Today its only 23 days left or 1 987 200 seconds ;) We are gettin closer baby! Cant wait, I am really happy about the line up and that we have a lot of specials for you, bands/artists who has never ever played in Sweden or been here for a very long long time …And from what i hear a lot of you love this line up too, and its so great to hear how much the artists are looking forward to this show, these two days are gonna be something else, i am so happy for all of us that are attending, sometimes i think that it would have been so cool to go to this festival myself as a visitor/fan only, but i am happy if i can make you happy, afterall thats why i do this…

Back to work! Love & Peace to all Rock Out (Laws) out there! <3

The surgery left Russell with a colostomy bag. Doctors are confident that this procedure is temporary. Russell remains hospitalized in Southern California, and his condition is improving. “It was touch and go for about 48 hours whether or not he was going to live,” manager Obi Steinman said. “He’s been in the hospital for several days, and he’s doing a lot better.” Russell is the singer behind such hits as “Once Bitten Twice Shy,” “Rock Me,” “Angel “ and “Save All Your Love”. He faces another operation, but he was in good spirits today “I’ve felt better, but I’ve felt a hell of a lot worse. Nothing is going to keep me down,” Russell said. “This whole thing definitely makes me appreciate life more than I ever have.”

Russell is expected to recover in six to eight weeks. Singer Terry Ilous of XYZ has stepped in to replace Russell at lead vox. Great White continues to receive positive feedback from audiences and promoters from its three shows in Southern California this past weekend.

The remaining dates on Great White’s 25th Anniversary Tour will go on as scheduled, and can be viewed at www.greatwhiterocks.com. The Great White family extends its thanks to the entire Great White fan community and appreciates prayers and well wishes as Russell recovers.

We at Stockholm Rock Out wishes Jack all the best and hope for a speedy recovery, really sad that this has happened but both Stockholm Rock Out and Great White wants to do this the best way possible. Management and Great White have been working hard for the past 24h to do something special at our festival, all our respect and love to Terry Ilous but since he attended the first Rock Out with XYZ on May 1st we felt that something different would be cool, something no one would expect. We are PROUD to announce that at Stockholm Rock Out on September 11, Great White will do a ONE time only european performance with the legendary singer Paul Shortino (Quiet Riot, Rough Cutt and the recently re-united King Kobra) Paul is REALLY excited to do his first EVER show in Sweden on September 11, this night will be something special and its a one time only show. And who knows, they might even throw in a couple of surprises….

/Chris, Stockholm Rock Out

Lemme tell you something. I was hanging with Chris and the boys this weekend, rehearsing, producer meeting and a helluva lot of beers and it suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks…Chris is one crazy fucker! See, when we´re working this close together, I never have a chance to take a step back and see what´s really going on but with the help of alcohol I saw it clearly. I mean seriously, who the fuck would ever dare to organize a rock fest in Stockholm that puts focus on rock when it was at it´s best? And the way he does it! Anyone here gone to a festival that is as personal as this one? He takes it all very serious and makes sure that everybody feels at ease. Did you guys who went to any festivales this summer get any offers to meet your idols at well organized Meet & Greets? Sending out free stuff? Remember that Chris is just an average Joe doing what he can with the pay he gets every month…no big money in this part of the business….. You know, there´s a slight difference between Chris LeMon and the BIG promotors. =) They would never dare to do anything like this. David vs. Goliath! No, it´s more safe to book bands who will always sell out. Chickens!

Otherwise, life is good. I am done with the flights, Shuttle logistics, Rooming etc. Now, one could think that the work load would ease off but NO WAY! =)
New cool asignments and challenges. You know we´re only a couple of people working with this. I asked Chris if I could be off working at the VIP Cafeteria and the Meet & Greets when Badmouth plays in oktober with WASP, KIX, Steelheart etc…he said no! The reason being that he wants me back there all the time.
This means that I will not have a chance to enjoy the good life of being a “rock star”. Nosirebob! Mike´s gonna be back there serving Blackie food instead of somebody else doing it. =) Oh fuckin Well!

You who already have tickets, first of all, thank you for supporting Chris crazy idea. Secondly, don´t you have any more friends who wants to rock out with us? I mean every sold ticket this year will result in an even better Rock Out next year…if possible. So, if you are a huge supporter of this type of music, help Chris build a nice economic platform for next year. Tickets sales are great. But we are just worried that some rockers will miss out. FYI…This is the Shit!

By the way…Badmouth will play a lot of new songs during our set on the 16th of October. It´s actually the first gig of our European tour with Lynch Mob starting in November in Sofia, Bulgaria. I am pretty sure that we will not hit our hometown
in a while after that…this after looking at our schedule…it would be cool to meet you guys more than once. =)

Once again, thanks for supporting us and we are really looking forward rocking out with y´all in September.

Cheers n Beers,

Mike Hill
