Prepping for the festival

Sweden Rock Rescue is the festival's own organization responsible for round-the-clock medical care for visitors, artists and staff.

Sweden Rock Rescue takes care of everything from simple incidents, such as bandaging and blisters, to advanced pre-hospital care on site. Staff treat heart problems, accidents, diabetes, stitch open injuries, administer medicines if necessary - well, more or less most emergency procedures you can think of. If necessary, patients are of course sent on to hospital.

In total, about 60 people are part of Sweden Rock Rescue, including:

• Medical Safety Officer
• Responsible supervising doctor
• Medical officer of health
• Emergency physician
• Specialist doctor with main responsibility for artists
• Specialist nurses (anesthesia, intensive care, ambulance)
• Dentists
• Psychologist/behavioral scientist
• Naprapath
• 40 people from the Red Cross
• medically trained drivers from the Voluntary Automobile Corps (FAK)

Sweden Rock Rescue is located on the tarmac just outside the festival area. The outer medical tent is staffed by the Red Cross. Inside is the emergency tent, where doctors and specialist nurses take care of cases that require more advanced emergency care and in some cases need an ambulance. There are also the three emergency vehicles that operate in the area.

In addition to Sweden Rock Rescue, several other organizations and authorities are in place to make the festival as safe as possible, such as Region Blekinge, Johanniterhjälpen and the municipality's field assistants and POSOM group.

A number of defibrillators are available throughout the area. These can be found on the map in the app.

In addition, all audience hosts patrolling the festival area are accompanied by St. John Ambulance representatives with defibrillators and first aid kits.

The Swedish Transport Agency has decided on a temporary ban on aviation in Norje during Sweden Rock Festival. The ban is valid from 12.00 on June 4, 2025 until 01.59 on June 8, 2025.

To ensure order and safety for visitors and to ensure the police's ability to monitor the event with their own drones and helicopters, there is a no-fly zone over Sweden Rock Festival 2025.

The Swedish Transport Agency has, upon application from the Swedish Police Authority, decided on a ban on aviation (temporary restriction area) in Norje during the Sweden Rock Festival for the period of 2025-06-04 at 12:00 to 2025-06-08 at 01:59 (UTC 2025-06-04 at 10:00 to UTC 2025-06-07 at 23:59.)

The area has the shape of a circle with center 560700N 0144046E. Radius 1 NM. The altitude of the area is from the ground up to 1,500 feet above sea level (AMSL).

The restrictions apply to all aircraft including RPAS/UAS, paragliders and model aircraft. However, the decision allows some exceptions, for example for police flights, ambulance flights, coastguard and scheduled flights to/from Ronneby Airport.

Violation of the flight ban can result in a fine. In connection with drone flights, other offenses may also be relevant, such as causing danger to others, recklessness in air traffic and drunk flying.
