Handy to know

Saxon

+ support: The Poodles

During the 1980s, Saxon established themselves as one of Europe’s most successful metal bands, selling over 20 million albums worldwide. Their classic albums, including Wheels of Steel, Strong Arm of the Law and Denim and Leather, continue to captivate metal fans across the globe just as much today as when they were first released. Their recently released and acclaimed 2024 album Hell, Fire and Damnation was voted by Metal Hammer readers as one of the ten best metal albums of 2024.

– Saxon helped shape the heavy metal we know and love today. Their musical legacy and on‑stage energy are something we know both new and long‑time fans will appreciate, says Johan Gummesson, artist booker at Liseberg.

Saxon consist of Peter “Biff” Byford (vocals), Brian Tatler and Doug Scarratt (guitar), Nibbs Carter (bass) and Nigel Glockler (drums). Don’t miss the chance to experience one of heavy metal’s most influential bands live at Liseberg this summer.

On 3 July at 8 pm, they will fill Stora Scenen with powerful riffs, immortal classics and pure metal energy.

Dare to Care

– a commitment to mutuality and to combat sexual abuse

In partnership with Svensk Live, the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education and various festivals, organisers and performers, we support everyone’s rights to their own body and their own sexuality.

At festivals, clubs – and everywhere. Dare to Care is primarily about creating a social culture that advocates communication, mutuality and consent in sexual relationships. In practice this involves working to establish norms and values and provide practical safety measures together with organisers, as well as talking to audiences at venues.

Greentopia

– Events as a driving force for climate change

Through the Greentopia initiative, stakeholders in live music, the sports community and Swedish cities have formed an alliance that is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of events.

We have joined this alliance, and together with other members of Greentopia we will actively work to reduce the climate impact of our own events and strive to encourage visitors and other stakeholders to contribute to the goal of making cities climate-neutral by 2030. Our focus is on food and drink, transport and textiles.
