I spent the weekend at an old abandoned amusement park in the deepest forests of Småland. It sounds like the plot of a bad zombie-splatter movie, but it was even better. This was the first time the Kalabalik festival was arranged.
Hultsfredsfestivalen is the annual event that died last year but somehow got resurrected by the Scorpio necromancers to once more lay waste to the shores of lake Hulingen. Since the Arvika festival was canceled a few weeks ago, this is one of the few places left in Sweden for large outdoor festivals.
As our ship was leaving the port in Stockholm, we were getting ready for a weekend with Das Boot. This is an annual sort of festival, where the ship goes from to Stockholm to various places. This year the journey was going across the Baltic Sea to Tallinn.
Døgnvill is a kind of arctic, yet urban, music festival. Tromsø is located 500 miles above the Arctic Circle and it was definitely the coldest festival I’ve ever been to.
The 2009 edition of Metaltown saw artists such as Marilyn Manson and Slipknot, but I was looking forward to this year, since it was time to finally be welcoming back the German fire monsters of Rammstein.
There is a new electronic festival in Sweden. The Vince festival, named after legendary Vince Clarke, is located in Karlskrona.
This year has seen a lot of concerts around the world, perhaps in some way related to the decrease in record sales which forces the artists to hit the roads. Regardless of the reason I estimate that I saw about 80 gigs during the year, and here are some of the highlights.
The dynamic duo behind classic club Romo Night have returned. The new club is called The Station, which is a spiritual successor to their previous effort Romo Night which sadly closed down two years ago.
I drove into the cosy Danish town of Randers in the evening, with a few hours to spare. At dusk it was time to walk to the venue called Værket, receiving 3D glasses at the entrance.
Arvikafestivalen is usually an uneasy mix of scorching sun and rain storms from hell. It doesn’t help with the heat that we’re all dressed in black and paler than Marilyn Manson, but just like last year there were moments of thunder rain inferno.
