Gasklockorna in Gävle, Sweden - home of the Getaway Rock Festival

I just returned to Copenhagen after four days in Sweden. I spent most of the time in a place north of Stockholm called Gävle where the Getaway Rock Festival 2011 took place. Today is just a preview, as I have loads of photos (about 3,000) and video (half a dozen or so) from the event (most of which I haven’t even looked at yet).

I was supposed to have a photo pass for just Death Angel and Opeth, but they gave me a press pass with access to the front of the stage for all of the bands. I didn’t protest. Nor did I abuse the priviledge. I used it only for the ten or so bands (of 70 performing) I wanted to see.

I think I’ll break things down by band and feature a band a day, starting tomorrow, for a week or two.

Gävle is a nice place. I’ll have some photos of it as well at some point.
