2018

The organizers were truly overwhelmed for the 13th ROW. First, because all tickets were completely sold out more than two weeks before the event. And second, because not only local metal fans attended, but also fans from Sweden, the Czech Republic, France, Italy, and other countries made the journey to Esslingen for the Rock for One World benefit festival.

This was due in no small part to the outstanding bands that rocked the ROW stage this year.

Red Raven opened the evening with a selection from their two albums, delivering a convincing performance. The Unity took up this unique energy, thrilling the crowd with top-notch songs and a surprise guest appearance by "Eggi" Exxel from Edguy. As the first Swedish band at ROW, Psychopunch showed the electrified audience just how much fun true Punk 'n Roll can be. Headliner Freedom Call brought the evening to a close with their greatest hits and fantastic energy, exceeding all expectations—even those of the fans who had traveled from far and wide.
