After last year´s comeback, requests have been going through the roof if we could get them to Rockfest. Pogo Pops is a pop adventure from Bergen which was popular in the 90´s.

Blind Archery Club

5 guys from Oslo in their middle 20´s. We heard them at By-Larm last year, got blown away and figured that we had to get them to Rockfest. We are first in line this year, before they head on to the other festivals.. Website here.

Karpe Diem

Karpe Diem is an adventure, this adventure is well known for its live performance, and great humor and groovy sounds. Visit their website here.

Bo Kaspers Orkester

The Cumshots

Kristopher Schau with his rock hard alibi, pure rock energy poured into the crowd. Something the festival manager of Rockfest himself has experienced at their concert in Kongsvinger 2001 where he snapped some rib bones during their concert ;o) Visit their website here.

Black Debbath

Black Debbath is their name, and their name pretty much sums up their agenda. Heavy 70´s hard rock combined with an equal amount of political engagement. Visit their website here.
