Bonafide is a Swedish hard rock band founded in Malmö in 2006 by singer-guitarist Pontus Snibb, whose vision was a sound rooted in electric blues and early R&B - think Bonham drumming over AC/DC riffs. Early support slots for Deep Purple and Status Quo, plus two sets at Sweden Rock Festival in 2008, quickly built them a following across Scandinavia and Europe. Their anthem 'Fill Your Head With Rock' was named one of 2011's best songs by Classic Rock Magazine, and the band has since released eight studio albums, the latest being Are You Listening? in 2023.
Bonafide released their first-ever vinyl single 'Payday' on December 12, 2025, marking the band's 20th anniversary year.
The band announced a full year of European tour dates for 2026 as part of their 20th anniversary celebrations.
Bonafide headlined the Nordic Noise festival in Copenhagen in May 2025.
The band completed a UK club tour in May 2025, including dates in London, Wales and Lincolnshire.
Bonafide released their eighth studio album Are You Listening?, produced by Chips Kiesbye, after a six-year gap since the previous record.
