"I would like to give a big, heartfelt thanks Andrés and everybody involved in Macken Fest, it was truly an honor and a pleasure to play at such an amazing and inspiring festival. As a music event it breathed art through and through, having so much artistic vision and attention to detail in its approach. Although it was a once in a lifetime-event, I would (and I’m sure many would agree) love to see this happen again some day, hopefully sooner than later."

Yuri Gagarin

"Thanks for having us! It was a pleasure! The crew, the gear and the venue were great as well. And we hope that we can do this again someday."

Enforcer

"We are extremely honored to be a part of such legendary event as Macken Fest. So many great bands, friends, and people around at the same time. I bet this will be an event people will talk about in 20 years of time and be like 'hey I was there', 'no I was there', 'I saw this band for the first time there'. Cheers."

The Heard

"At a creative sanctuary called Macken fest 2022, it finally happened. We, The Heard, played live. And it was beyond amazing! From the deepest gutter of the Haunted Island a new urge and beast was born. The one that only comes out at night and feeds off heavy riffs and swaying hips. It’s time to tame the beast! To play live. To seize the night!"

The Coffinshakers

"Darkness had barely descended over a rainy autumn Stockholm when The Coffinshakers finally returned to the stage in the Swedish capital for the first time in what seems like forever. For us, Macken fest was an incredible opportunity to meet friends old and new, both bands and audience. Thank you all!"

Serpent Omega

"Against the will of all the gods combined we finally unleashed the purest darkness over Macken Fest. A milestone for the band since it was the first show we did on our second album. Surrounded by good folks, good beers and great bands we finally could do this in a great and professional manner."

Horndal

"Looking back on our show at Macken and the whole experience of it. Not your everday festival, that’s for sure. Such an elaborate cross-cultural event, going way beyond those three days at Fållan in Stockholm. But all thing beautiful must eventually die and rust away, whether it’s small industrial towns or distorted music festivals drenched in top-class beer. So glad we got to be a part of it.  Hej då Macken, vi ses i morgon."

"Different kind of emotions emerged that night, September 18th 2022. We felt the passion and the hysteria, connection, and fire. Thank you."
