Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

She’s back – finally! Joan Jett’s first performance at Sweden Rock in 2011 was a sensation, a feast of atmosphere, energy and classic songs. The (hard) rock queen who got famous in the 70s with the Runaways, had her definitive global breakthrough in her own right in the 80s. Today, after twelve studio albums and numerous immortal hits like ”Bad reputation”, ”I hate myself for loving you”, ”Crimson and clover” and, obviously, ”I love rock’n’roll”, Joan Jett is a certified icon – a perenially adored rock’n’roll heroine whose return to Sweden Rock has been so highly anticipated, for so long.
