During the festival
Many of us share the space at Sweden Rock Festival. The festival is known for its friendly atmosphere, and we are extremely keen to ensure that security remains high. Here you will find practical information for your festival experience. The information will be updated as the festival approaches.
Sweden Rock Rescue
Sweden Rock Rescue is the festival's own organization responsible for round-the-clock medical care for visitors, artists and staff. You will find Sweden Rock Rescue on the tarmac just outside the festival area.
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, diabetes, stitch open injuries, administer medicines if necessary - most emergency measures you can think of. Of course, if necessary, patients are sent on to hospital.
In total, about 60 people are part of Sweden Rock Rescue, including medical safety officers, doctors, specialist nurses, dentists, psychologists and others. We also have staff from the Red Cross and medically trained drivers from the Voluntary Automobile Corps (FAK).
The outer medical tent on the platform is staffed by the Red Cross. Inside is the emergency tent, where doctors and specialist nurses take care of cases requiring more advanced emergency care and, in some cases, an ambulance. There are also the three emergency vehicles that operate in the area.
There are also other organizations and authorities on site to make the festival as safe as possible, such as Region Blekinge, Johanniterhjälpen and the municipality's field assistants and POSOM group. There are a number of defibrillators available in the area, all marked on the festival map.
