H.E.A.T are melodic hard rock legends from Upplands Väsby, Sweden, formed in 2007. They blend classic hard rock, arena rock, and AOR (Adult Oriented Rock) with powerful, anthemic melodies inspired by 1980s rock heroes like Whitesnake, Journey, and Bon Jovi — a sound that has won them fans across Europe and beyond. The band was born from the merger of two local groups and quickly began making waves with their self‑titled debut album in 2008. Their single “1000 Miles” became a breakthrough hit, taking them to the finals of Sweden’s national Eurovision qualifying competition, Melodifestivalen, and helping cement their reputation as modern torchbearers of melodic rock. Across a catalog that includes Freedom Rock (2010), Address the Nation (2012), Tearing Down the Walls (2014), Into the Great Unknown (2017), H.E.A.T II (2020), Force Majeure (2022), and Welcome to the Future (2025), H.E.A.T have continued to evolve while staying true to their high‑energy, riff‑driven roots. The band’s lineup features Kenny Leckremo (lead vocals), Jona Tee (keyboards), Jimmy “Jay” Johansson (bass), Don Crash (drums), and Dave Dalone (guitar). Leckremo, the original singer, returned to front the band in 2020 after a decade away, reconnecting them with their early melodic rock spirit. H.E.A.T have toured extensively throughout Europe and beyond, sharing stages with major acts and regularly headlining festivals like Sweden Rock Festival, where their electrifying performances and sing‑along anthems have become fan favourites.
