Swedish Rock Juggernaut, THE HELLACOPTERS, have been a leading light in the Garage Rock world ever since 1996 with their Grammy Award winning, debut album "Supershitty To The Max". This saw the band subsequently tour as support for KISS as they took off to soon become the legends they are now. They are adoringly considered one of the most influential Rock bands in Sweden, along with other acts such as THE HIVES.
The band was formed in 1994 by Nicke Andersson (vocals and guitar), Andreas "Dregen" Svensson (guitar), Kenny Kakansson (bass) and Robert Eriksson (drums). Andersson had been the drummer for death metal band ENTOMBED and Dregen was taking a break from his full-time band BACKYARD BABIES. After releasing such influential albums like "Supershitty To The Max", "Payin' The Dues", "Grande Rock" and more, the band disbanded in 2007. With much delight from fans all over the world, the band reformed in 2016, releasing new albums. 2025 brought on the release of their latest album (their ninth) Overdriver. The band are back and firing on all cylinders. Welcome back guys, Australia is ready to Respect The Rock.

Joining the band are their Norwegian brothers in rock, the mighty GLUECIFER. With a career almost mirroring their Swedish brethren, GLUECIFER formed in 1994, releasing chart topping lessons in Rock like "Ridin' The Tiger", "Tender Is The Savage" and "Basement Apes". Like The Hellacopters early releases, released on the seminal White Jazz label, GLUECIFER fast became one of the leading bands among the hugely successful Scandinavian Hard Rock wave of the late 1990's. Breaking up in 2005, the band reformed in 2017 and continues to tour and record, with their latest album "Same Drug New High" proving the band are back and on top again! Gluecifer are counted as one of the most successful rock bands of Norway, so Australia, get ready, as they are gonna show you why!!

GlueciferGluecifer was a key band in the Scandinavian rock-wave that swept across Europe 20 years ago. Gluecifer started out as a punkrock band in Oslo in 1994. A string of underground releases led to a record deal with the Swedish, White Jazz label, home of The Hellacopters etc. All across Europe in the winter of 1998, the two bands did a massive tour together, and rockfans across the globe started to pay attention. Along with other great bands like Turbonegro, The Hives and Backyard Babies, the term «Scandinavian Rock» or «Scandirock» was born as a musical conception. Five studio albums later, close to a thousand shows, and eleven years into their carreer Gluecifer called it quits. After a farewell tour that ended in New York, October 2005, they promised they’ll never to return to the stage again. In June 2018 that promise was broken, as Gluecifer reunited for a headliner show at the Azkena Rock Festival in Spain. Fans had flown in from all corners of the world to see the first Gluecifer show in 13 years. This felt like no less than a massive homecoming, and more successful reunion shows took place throughout the next few years. Playing the old songs and revisiting the past led to another big question for the band. Was it time to put it all to rest once again, or was this the right time for a new chapter? Their brand new album «Same Drug New High» was released on Jan.16 2026
