“Legends, idols and headliners for generations of rock fans! The expectations were higher than ever after this summer, and we had to outdo ourselves. The first batch for next year is filled with favourites. Pantera at Tons of Rock in Oslo is a dream we barely dared believe in. It feels great to be at it again, and we promise this is just the beginning, and that 2023 will be another one for the books.”
