NEMIS
Studiefrämjandet offers a stage for new emerging talent at Sweden Rock Festival. Nemis, which stands for New Music in Sweden, is an obvious feature at many Swedish festivals. At the Sweden Rock Festival, the stage is the most long-lived of all.

The future of rock
The Sweden Rock Festival 2026 celebrated Nemi's 20th anniversary!
During these two decades, the Nemis scene has been a springboard for many bands and artists who have gone on to become big names, such as Browsing Collection, Sparzanza, Sonic Syndicate, Emma Varg, Corroded, VA Rocks, Frantic Amber and Maidavale.
An important part of Nemis is that half of the bands selected are female-dominated or fronted by a woman. It's a clear effort to encourage more young women to play hard rock - and to show that hard rock is for everyone, whether you want to be on stage or in the audience.
Together with Sweden Rock-kollo and Studiefrämjandet, we continue to send strong signals of inclusion and community in the world of hard rock.
To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Studiefrämjandet has conducted a series of interviews with bands that have played at Sweden Rock Nemis. Curious to read more?
