Van Halen and Judas Priest are among the bands who are rumored to be playing next year's Sweden Rock Festival, set to take place June 4-7, 2008 in in Sölvesborg, Sweden. It should be noted, however, that neither of these acts has been officially confirmed for the event and their possible participation in the festival should be treated as nothing more than speculation.

The organizers of the Sweden Rock Festival will announce the first 20-25 bands confirmed for next year's event during the kick-off party on November 24 at Tyrol in Stockholm. The party will be broadcast live on the Stockholm radio station 106.7 Rockklassiker beginning at 7:00 p.m. local time and will be available for streaming worldwide via www.rockklassiker.se.

This year's Sweden Rock Festival kick-off celebration will feature performances by Gotthard, Sabaton and Hazy/Dizzy. In addition, a one-off all-star band has also been put together featuring:

Uli Jon Roth (Scorpions, Electric Sun) - Guitar
Mark Boals (Yngwie Malmsteen, Ring Of Fire) - Vocals
Mats Levén (Yngwie Malmsteen, At VanCE, Therion) - Vocals
Liz Vandall (Sahara, Uli Jon Roth) - Vocals
Janne Stark (Overdrive, Baltimoore) - Guitar
Ule Ritgen (Zeno, Electric Sun, Fair Warning) - Bass
Thomas Broman (Electric Boys, John Norum, 21 Guns) - Drums

The group will perform vintage Scorpions and Electric Sun material, along with other "nice surprises."
