Sweden Rock Rescue
Sweden Rock Rescue is the festival's own organization responsible for round-the-clock medical care for visitors, artists and staff.
Sweden Rock Rescue offers both basic care, such as bandaging and treating blisters, as well as advanced medical care on site. If necessary, patients are referred to a hospital.
Sweden Rock Rescue consists of approximately 60 people and is reinforced by staff from the Red Cross and medically trained drivers from the Frivilliga Automobilkåren (FAK). The area has both medical tents and emergency tents staffed by doctors and specialist nurses, as well as emergency vehicles ready when needed.
To ensure a safe festival environment, Region Blekinge, Johanniterhjälpen, and the municipality's field assistants and POSOM group will also be on site. Defibrillators are located throughout the area and are marked on the festival map.
You will find Sweden Rock Rescue on the asphalt slab just outside the festival area.
