Linda Theodoridis is originally from Helsingborg but now lives in Klippan with her husband and children. She works as a dental hygienist, but she has always been interested in music. But getting to try being a rock star was a coincidence.

"I was on my way to work and then I heard on Rockklassiker that they had a competition to get the chance to try being a rock star for a day," she says.

Winning entry

She submitted her entry and then took home the win in the competition. On Friday at 13 pm, she takes the "Pistonhead stage" together with Rockklassiker Allstars consisting of, among others, Mikkey Dee and Nina Söderquist.

"It's very nerve-wracking at the same time trying to land somewhere in that I've done this before and that it's going to be really fun. I will have a lot of friends there, an experience of a lifetime, so I will really try to relax and enjoy, says Linda Theodoridis.

"Should be really cool to meet all the Rockers"

Because she is not a novice, 15 years ago she was in the band Urban Mind which was the opening act for Kelly Clarkson at Annexet in Stockholm. At Friday's festival concert, she will play three songs.

"It's my biggest experience in music so far.

Some of the festival's attractions are Iron Maiden, Deep purple, Europe, Ghost and Mötley Crüe. Read more in our guide and schedule for Sweden Rock 2023.
