Event description
CRASHDÏET comes to us on November 30th.
“Go big or go home” has been the motto of CRASHDÏET ever since they started in the early 2000s. They have gone through turmoil a number of times in their career, with deaths, member changes and a history of decadence that would make Mötley Crües ” The Dirt” to appear as a children’s book.
But the guys in CRASHDÏET have become known for picking up the pieces and returning to the stage every time they crash. Their undeniable flirtation with the great arena rock bands of the 80s such as Guns N’ Roses, Kiss, Skid Row etc., combined with elements of punk, has made them a significant name in the revival of the sleaze and glam (or Glam Metal) genre.
CRASHDÏET released their critically acclaimed debut album “Rest in sleaze” in the fall of 2005 through Universal Music, which brought them great success in their homeland. But shortly after, in January 2006, their frontman and founder Dave Lepard was found dead in his home after committing suicide. The surviving members have carried the torch ever since, recruiting new frontmen, touring the world and releasing 6 studio albums to their widespread fans. In 2022, the latest album “Automaton” was released, which quickly became a favorite among fans.
A new studio album is expected next year.
CRASH DIET 2024 is:
John Elliott
Peter London
Martin Sweet
Michael Sweet
Support act for the evening will be Swedish WILDNESS
Wildness was formed in 2014 by drummer and songwriter Erik Modin, guitarists Adam Holmström and Pontus Sköld and singer Gabriel Lindmark.
The band performed live and released a few demos for the first 2 years before signing a record deal and releasing their first two albums on the German label AOR Heaven.
Bassist Marcus Sjösund stepped in as a full member of the band during the recording of their debut album, which was released at the end of 2017 and immediately became a huge international success among fans of melodic hard rock. But disagreements about musical directions led to singer Gabriel Lindmark leaving Wildness in the fall of 2019. The band recruited singer Erik Forsberg (ex-Blazon Stone) as their new frontman and singer in the spring of 2020. Their follow-up to the debut album was named “Ultimate Demise” (released in end of 2020) and became an increasing success for the band, thanks in large part to Erik Forsberg’s powerful set of pipes and the hit single “Cold words”.
Wildness spent most of 2021 writing and planning the follow-up to ‘Ultimate Demise’, and after the band signed a multi-album deal with Italian label Frontiers Records in October 2021, the recording of their third album titled ‘Resurrection’ features 11 melodic masterpieces with 1 foot in the 80s and the other in the present.
In 2024, Wildness completed their 4th album, which plans to release in 2025.
