January 31st, 2009 at the Metropolis club in Munich. Performing on the show day will be the following five bands:
TREATSwedish band
TREAT was founded in 1984 and belongs to the Melodic Rock genre's most loved bands. Their records are highly respected and the releases "Scratch And Bite", "The Pleasure Principle" and "Dreamhunter" as well are all-time faves by many. In 2008, TREAT are still going strong and currently recording a new studio album which will see the light of day in early 2009.

STAGE DOLLS
STAGE DOLLS from Norway belong into the same category as TREAT: outstanding Scandinavian Melodic Rock! This outfit has been around since 1983 and also released some true Melodic Rock gem's such as the records "Stage Dolls" and "Commandos". Stage Dolls also are recording a new album right now, permanently are touring Norway and their appearance at Rock Over Munich will mark their first ever concert in Germany since 20 years!

DOMINOEDOMINOE These days, a nostalgic trip back to the 80s isn’t that unusual, especially when it comes to music. In 1988, the debut single of a then-unknown band became an overnight success. R5 was the name of the car. ‘Here I Am’ was the name of the song. DOMINOE was the name of the band! 2008 shows the Rock band from Munich very strong with the release of their new album "The Story Is Far From Told...".

M.ILL.ION from Gothenburg, Sweden, was formed in 1989 by bass player and song-writer B.J Laneby. Influences in the music include everything from KISS, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, DIO, Accept to Queen, the blues and The Beatles - all combined with the more heavy approach of the 2000’s.
