September 1 & 2, 2018 at O2 Academy in Sheffield, UK —
Hard Rock Hell is into its 11th year now and continues to deliver quality and grow with new festival additions. HRH Sleaze was born in 2017 and has been extremely well received, the fact that 58% of tickets for HRH Sleaze II were sold at HRH Sleaze I is quite amazing!
The festivals second edition was taking place on September 1st and 2nd at O2 Academy Sheffield, United Kingdom. Two days, two arenas, over 20 bands, what a fun weekend!
Saturday’s headliners were American hard rockers, veterans of glam and sleaze metal scene L.A. Guns. On Sunday same duty went to one of Sweden’s most successful and bestselling rock bands Backyard Babies.
