About me:

12 years of Rio Rock …it seems a long long time, and it is! With an awesome variety of local and international bands, we’ve written history in the minds of lots of people throughout the years. It all started in Spring 1998. It were dark ages for the local bands, because there were much too little opportunities for them to show their abilities. Therefore we started with a small gig in the local canteen of F.C. Rio. Rio Rock was born! And it was a success! Throughout the years, Rio Rock attracted more and more people and became a festival of great value in the Belgian Punk, Metal and Hardcore scene. Many successful national bands such as Circle, Length Of Time, Cornflames, Cast-Down, PN, The Maple Room passed in review, but also bigger international names such as Undeclinable(NET), Backfire(NET), Donots(G), Waterdown(G), 3 Colours Red (UK), Somehow Hollow (USA), Easy Way (POR), Satanic Surfers (SWE), Stretch Arm Strong(USA), Flyswatter (G), No Fun At All, Ignite, Terror, This Is Hell, Death By Stereo and Madball found their way to Ham.
