The onslaught of summer heat has arrived in Gothenburg and it’s festival time. I missed Marilyn Manson last time he was in the city, but this time he performed at the Metaltown festival, on a pier so close I would have heard it from my balcony so I just had to be there.
This weekend I visited the last ever edition of Tinitus festival. The lineup was strong and the festival had been extended to two days.
I tend to visit a lot of live concerts, since most bands manage to create something special on stage that make them come alive, in a way never achieved by the flat compact discs. Here are some of my favorite concerts during 2008.
The time had come to visit the overpriced frenzy of Way Out West. It turned out to be just as I thought it would be. On one hand, it’s quite comfy to visit a festival at the heart of your home town.
It’s been a couple of years since last time, but it felt good to be back in the forest at Arvikafestivalen. The first days were scorchingly hot, but the last one surprised us all with a lightning storm that came from nowhere and almost swept the festival away.
We reached Glasgow after a few hours drive from Edinburgh. Got the room opposite number 666 at a hotel and went down to The Quay for a quick meal at Frankie & Benny’s.
Even though I visit a lot of concerts, I rarely write anything about them. This will be an exception. The British singer-songwriter Tom McRae visited Gothenburg for the first time ever this evening, a welcome exception to the kind of concerts I usually attend.
Started in 1996, Romo Night was an electronic music club that started out at the student venue Kåren, but later moved to the larger Trägårn in 2003.
I recently got back from a Nine Inch Nails concert, where I was intrigued by marketing hype surrounding this tour. It all started with hidden letters in tour t-shirts spelling out a domain name
The first SAMA (Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards) was held in 1998. Ten years later, the time had come to close this chapter of music history and visit the very last SAMA. All in all, it felt like the last night with the old crew.
