Kavli Sweden and Henke Brannerydh’s Rockpodden proudly present the very first band of the festival – and what a choice it is!
An incredible number of talented bands applied, making the jury’s task both exciting and truly challenging. The competition was fierce, and the discussions went right down to the wire.
In the end, we landed on a decision that feels absolutely spot on: Rudyard will open Nestorfest! With their powerful sound and vibrant energy, they are the perfect match for an early late-summer evening, as the gates open and the crowd’s craving for rock and celebration reaches its peak.
