COLLECT YOUR FESTIVAL PASS! Starting at 8am on friday the 5th of March and at 11am on saturday the 6th of March, we offer you the possibility to trade your tickets for Festival Passes during the day. We strongly advice you to collect on this oppurtunity to avoid being held up in line for longer than necessary upon arrival to House of Metal in the evening. Please be adviced that it is crucial that you bring a valid photographic ID when you collect your pass, as we will be unable to suit you with a pass that grants access to the bar areas unless you can prove your age to be 18 or above.
	FINAL RELEASE OF BANDS! The line-up for the 2010 edition of House of Metal is now complete. First off we are proud to present, from the vast darkness of the most twisted and evil parts of the Northern Realm of sweden, Marduk, a terrifying experience that will bring darkness to the Idun-stage. To complete the list of artists, the following bands will also appear on various stages during the festival: ReinXeed, Cynical Hatred, Apocalyst, 8-Point Rose, One Arm Short, ColdSpell, Three Minute Madness, Lesra and Raging Steel. More info on all bands can be found in the Artists section of this page. On top of that, we give you the best in party music from two of the greatest cover bands available. Both Sons of Guns and Revolverdog will perform throughout the festival, and as if that wasn't enough to get your party started, Bonnie Lee will engage you in a sing-along from hell. More information of these three acts will be presented in the near future. We also would like to take this moment to remind you of the policy regarding the Idun concerts: Our main acts will perform on the stage in the Idun venue of House of Metal. This locale holds 1500 people. There might happen that this hall will fill up, and if so happens the doors will close. Therefor: - If it is imoportant for you to see the full show: Be there well in time! - If the doors are closed: Have patience. People come and go so you should be able to get in eventually.
