Rocks Off

Sweden's Greatest Tribute to The Rolling Stones!

About Me

So you didn't manage to get yourself any tickets for The Rolling Stones last time round? Well, I guess you can't always get what you want.. or can you? Oh yes! Get ready to book Sweden's very own kings of rock - The Greatest Rolling Stones tribute band; Rocks Off. Formed in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1995, Rocks Off has had hundreds of crowds all over Europe rocking out to all of the old classics. They have proved to be a huge hit over in England, being invited back to Liverpool's Beatle Week and Mathew Street Festival for what will now be five years in a row. These guys are top-class entertainment! Tony Johnson is every bit the front-man, complete with Jagger's swagger, style and sound. This band has everything it takes to start you up and get you rocking. This is a band not to be missed, whether you are a true Stones fan or just want to have a good time! I'm telling you now, wild horses couldn't hold me back! /Ellen Adshead, 2006
