The Sweden Rock Festival experience is 4 days of listening to some of the finest rock and metal bands, along with 40,000 friends who share a love for heavy music (and beer). The festival attracts fans from all over Sweden and many other countries and is renowned for being well-organized and having a friendly vibe.

To make performing bass players (and their sound engineers) happy, EBS delivers the bass amps for three stages at the scene, as well as sponsored artists performing on the two main stages. Something we have done for the last twenty years. All in all, 36 bands out of 93 had EBS on stage.

Pawel Maciwoda, with Scorpions, put on the EBS t-shirt for the show, using the MicroBass 3 preamp.

Among the EBS artists playing this year were Pawel Maciwoda (Scorpions), Martin Mendez (Opeth), John ‘JC’ Calabrese (Danko Jones), Tomas Näslund (Blindside), Ken Sandin (Kee Marcello plays Europe), Hasse Hagman (Universe III), Ola Henriksson (Bombus) and Jonathan Thyberg of the new sensations on the thrash-scene, Bloodstain.

Once again, the EBS amps performed flawlessly, withstanding dust, pouring rain, and the hard-hitting bass players during four intense days, delivering the best bass sound possible and providing the audience with plenty of musical highlights to remember and draw inspiration from.
