29/07/2024 -  Sjock 48 : Thanks to make this a memorable edition !

Sjock 48 is way behind us. We needed some time to recover. We reeeaaally did.

It was really memorable as we had our first presale Sold Out (Sunday) edition in Sjock history, and what a history we have.

Many thanks go out to the many voluntary workers who made this happen again, without you there would be NO Rock'n'Roll Highlight of the Year !​

Many thanks to all you visitors who created this great Sjock Atmospere that is getting famous all over the world.

​

And many thanks to all great bands that played Sjock 48.

Let's make it an even greater Highlight on July 11, 12, 13 in 2025 when we will have the 49th edition of Sjock !

03/05/2023 -  Sjock 47 - Tami Nelson cancels for Saturday

Sad news from @tamineilsonmusic

"As many of my fans will know, I am still in recovery from sepsis after multiple emergency surgeries earlier this year. I am trying to keep my commitments to as many shows as I can while still being careful. It is why there are not as many shows as I would normally play in 2023 and why I unfortunately cannot get to every town or city I would like to. It’s also part of why I chose to base myself in North America and predominantly travel in a motorhome with my family for 5 months- to reduce long flights where I can, for the benefit of both my physical and my mental health while touring. Unfortunately there are a couple shows I have had to cancel that my Dr has advised against due to extensive travel. I’m afraid one of those shows is the Sjock festival in Belgium in July. I’m very sorry to let my fans in Europe down and hope to be back to play for you next year when hopefully my health is fully restored. Thank you for your understanding."
