HIM, KENT AND THE HIVES TO HEADLINE ANKKAROCK
Line-up for Ankkarock 2008 festival, taking place as usual in Korso, Vantaa, on the first weekend of August, Aug 2nd-3rd, is finished for the most part. The festival summer finale will be headlined by the internationally acclaimed love metal band HIM, Scandinavia's most popular rock band Kent (SWE) and the wildly performing new garage band The Hives (SWE). The bill also features heavy legend W.A.S.P. (USA), psychopunk band Tiger Army (USA), melodic power metal group Kamelot (USA), Denmark's hard music trump card Volbeat (DK) and metal bands Opeth (SWE) and Soilwork (SWE).
In addition to HIM, other confirmed Finnish acts include Amorphis, Apocalyptica, Apulanta, Disco Ensemble, Hanoi Rocks, Ismo Alanko Teholla, Kotiteollisuus, Lauri Tähkä & Elonkerjuu, Mokoma, PMMP, Poets of the Fall, Scandinavian Music Group, Sonata Arctica and Von Hertzen Brothers.
This year's festival mascot, the traditional duck figure, is Jouni Hynynen, who is the singer of the Finnish metal band Kotiteollisuus and a well-known media person. As usual, the duck figure will adorn all Ankkarock-related prints and the three festival stages.
