Hardcore Superstar is a hard rock band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed in 1997 around vocalist Jocke Berg and bassist Martin Sandvik. Blending sleaze rock with what the band calls 'street metal', they have released twelve studio albums and built a loyal following across Scandinavia and Europe through relentless touring. Their self-titled 2005 album reached number one on the Swedish hard rock charts and earned a Grammis nomination, and the platinum single 'Moonshine' (2010) remains one of their most-streamed tracks.
Hardcore Superstar announced the Dirty Halo Tour for autumn 2026, covering 21 venues across Sweden, Finland and Estonia - described by the band as their biggest Scandinavian run in years.
New drummer Efraim Larsson (Gathering of Kings, Masterplan) will make his recording debut with the band on the forthcoming album, the follow-up to Abrakadabra.
The band launched a new official website and confirmed a new album is already in the works.
Frontman Jocke Berg confirmed a new album is being written with German producer Julian, with a single planned before the Monsters of Rock Cruise in March 2025.
Longtime drummer Magnus 'Adde' Andreasson officially left Hardcore Superstar after 25 years and subsequently joined Swedish hard rock band Eclipse.
