ABOUT:
Tons of Rock is Norway’s largest rock and metal festival, known for bringing music lovers from all over the world together for a celebration of powerful music and an unforgettable festival atmosphere. Since its inception in 2014, the festival has developed into a cultural highlight and an important part of Norway’s music history. In 2024, 150,000 rock fans visited Ekebergsletta in Oslo, marking a record year for this grand celebration of rock and metal.
With Ekebergsletta as the festival site, Tons of Rock enjoys a unique location in the heart of Oslo. The open landscape provides a fantastic festival atmosphere, while the proximity to the city center and attractions makes the festival easily accessible for both Norwegian and international guests.
The festival area includes 4 stages onsite, a large food and shopping court, a carnival, art and arcade area and a unique festival camp besides the festival.
Tons of Rock is about more than just music. The festival offers a holistic experience with a diverse selection of food and drinks, merchandise markets, art exhibitions, and dedicated areas for relaxation and activities.
Additionally, the festival is committed to safety and inclusion through its #SafeFestival campaign, actively working to create a secure and positive environment for all attendees. The campaign focuses on combating harassment and unwanted behavior with measures such as visible security, safe zones, and clear communication.
Tons of Rock also takes environmental responsibility seriously, implementing sustainable initiatives like recycling, plastic reduction, and collaborations with local initiatives to minimize the festival’s footprint.

CAMPING @ TOR
In recent years, we have worked hard to find an alternative for an additional festival camping for Tons of Rock. Now we finally have the solution ready, in 2024 there will be two festival campsites!
Both Festivalcamp Ekeberg and Festivalcamp Bjerke will be fenced off for security reasons and everyone who wants access to the camp must buy a personal ticket in advance via Ticketmaster. There will be access control to both camps throughout the festival period.
