Crashdiet

Crashdïet land at Slaughter Club in Paderno Dugnano, Italy, on 23 October 2026. Born in early-2000s Stockholm around the voice of Dave Lepard, the band helped reboot the Swedish sleaze rock and glam metal vibe with a mix of melodic hard rock, sharp riffs and a punk edge. Rest in Sleaze (2005) set the tone with direct rhythms and street glam imagery, a blueprint they’ve kept alive through changes on the mic after Lepard’s passing. The Unattractive Revolution (2007) and Generation Wild (2010) pushed the hook-first, heavy rock approach, followed by The Savage Playground (2013), Rust (2019) and Automaton (2022), each leaning on brisk tempos, cutting solos and instantly readable melodies.

On stage, Crashdïet play it straight and loud: choruses built to be shouted back, guitars front and center, and a pace that rarely drops. Guitarist Martin Sweet remains the band’s backbone, tying together the different eras of the set. Expect a trip through their catalogue, from the raw spark of Rest in Sleaze to the metallic sheen of Automaton, with that Swedish glam grit that made their name in the first place.
