Update at 19:44 hours on 08/02/2017

Alice Cooper, the master of shock rock, will perform at the Rock Fest 2017 festival in Santa Coloma de Gramenet. Cooper, real name Vincent Damon Furnier, will perform on Saturday July 1 at the Can Zam park.

He is a great hard rock singer known for his stage horror montages and mythical songs like 'Poison', 'School's Out', 'Eighteen' or 'Elected' among others of a musical career that began in the 1970s.

An artist who has not performed many times in Barcelona. The first time in Palau Sant Jordi (2002) with a spectacular Chinese stage but with a somewhat poor public entrance. Next time was differtent, in a very crowded Razzmatazz (2005) venue, a change perhaps too hard after the bump in the pavilion. The last one was at the comfortable Sant Jordi Club (2010).

Other groups that the organization of the festival has confirmed lately are veterans Blue Oyster Cult and catalonian groups Crisix (thrash metal) and '77 (hard rock).

------------------------------

Update at 13:03 hours on 17/12/2016

The Rock Fest has announced many new bands for the festival to be held in Santa Coloma de Gramenet from June 30 to July 2, 2017.

Names that sound a lot to hard rock like Deep Purple, Europe, Alter Bridge, Queensrÿche, the locals Imperial Jade or the australians Airbourne.

However, there will also be a ration of 'brutallity' with the incorporation of the mythical black metal band Emperor, known for his Black Metal Symphony style and playing its classic 'Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk', the death metal of Decapitated and thrash metal Crisix. Also there will be acting one of the most influential doom metal bands, Paradise Lost.

Of course, there will be heavy metal bands such as the former Accept singer, Dirkschneider, Hammerfall or the spanish urban rock of Sociedad Alkohólika and Reincidentes.

Other groups that complete the new round of confirmations are In Extremo, Saurom and Jotnar.

Update at 11:56 am on 17/11/2016

Seven years ago was Aerosmith's last concert in Barcelona at Palau Sant Jordi and Steven Tyler and Joe Perry - who passed out last July during a concert with his band Hollywood Vampires - have become one of the most iconic rock groups World, with forty years of musical career, although they were not a group of masses until the nineties.

The promoters of Rock Fest have announced other groups that will perform the festival: Exciter, legend of classic heavy metal; Sodom, one of the three large groups of German thrash metal; WASP, essential group of American hard rock; Abbath, group of black metal singer Immortal; Ñu, basic Spanish rock group with José Carlos Molina and other bands like Gloryhammer, Ensiferum, Saratoga, Lords of Black and Eclipse.

Metallica will not do European festivals in 2017

One of the rumors that ran through the network was the possibility that Metallica will perform at the Rock Fest but the US band has said that next year will not do festivals.

The group is currently promoting their new work 'Hard Wired' and is posting videos of each track on the album.
