Hanrock is a concert created by four friends during the Covid pandemic. They concluded that people needed something to lift them beyond quarantine and boredom. Despite the restrictions, there was still the summer of Hanko —the sailing boats, and of course, Villa Gustava’s backyard. So what could one do with that?
The idea of Hanrock was and still is to perform familiar songs for friends. Our band has evolved from five members to seven, now also including a manager and a marketer (me).

The first Hanrock took place in the yard of Villa Gustava, a property owned by friends. The idea was to play music for a selected group of close friends.
In 2021, the idea of a bigger concert was sparked. The concert would take place at Casino’s beach stage nearby. Every year since, it has continued to evolve and gain new features.
