That is, if you were around noon at the central station. Might have gotten a bit more crowded later. Made it in time to watch the American noise/industrial/rock act Health on…

Review of Day 1 can be found here https://eternal-terror.com/2024/07/04/tons-of-rock-2024-day-1/ The transport logistics have now been fixed and it was a really smooth ride to the festival. No queue for the bus, we got there in under 30 mins after leaving the downtown hotel. Really nice. As soon as we reached the area, Doro began her…

Tons of Rock 2024 – 10 years jubilee -review Having had attended each of the festival’s edition since it started in the picturesque fortress of Halden 10 years ago, there is still a mix of curiosity and various worries that build up when heading to the area for the first day.
