Ready for Tons of Rock? It's getting closer now, you know!
And for the first time, Big Dipper will have a record store up on Ekebergsletta during the festival. They have many questions, and therefore take the step of inviting people to a public meeting!
We present this year's Tons of Rock festival artist! Stian Andersen is one of Norway's most prominent music photographers. He has documented Norwegian and international rock history with his camera for several decades, and is particularly known for his long-standing collaboration with Turbonegro.
You know Anders Odden from Cadaver, Satyricon and Apoptygma Berzerk. This year, he is at the festival with the concept Karaoke From Hell and a guided tour of Oslo's metal sights. We need to hear more about this and our own Jacob Krogvold has a chat with Anders about the plan!
They will end it all with a debate panel that will exchange experiences about what it is actually like to be an artist at Tons of Rock. In the panel you will meet seasoned Tons of Rock circus horses such as Lars Lønning (Black Debbath), PK & Magne from The Good The Bad & The Zugly, along with first-time bands such as Drakånis and Arachno. Big Dipper, who will be running a record store at Tons for the first time, sneaks in discreetly in the hope of picking up some tips. Will there be any Turbo vinyl up on the plain, for example? We can ask the president of Turbojugend Oslo about that, he is also on the panel. Jacob will try to be the moderator, we wish him luck.. And since this is a public meeting, of course YOU will also have the opportunity to ask your questions!
