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.
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.
Just as Whitsun arrives each year, tens of thousands of people dressed in black also arrive to the the beautiful city of Leipzig. The annual Wave-Gotik-Treffen is one of the largest sub-culture events in the world.
Yesterday I went to the 2006 edition of SAMA (Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards). It was, as expected, a pleasant mix of old and new. The initial lineup of De/Vision, Strasse and Sturm Café was finally boosted with Das Ich, VNV Nation, Iris, Spetsnaz and Seize.
The Tinitus festival is one of the best gatherings in the country for fans of electronic music. A lot of people had showed up at Münchenbryggeriet in Stockholm this weekend to see a fairly nice lineup of bands.
The forests of Värmland were filled with people attending the annual Arvikafestivalen this weekend. One of the main attractions happened to be four old men from Germany, the legendary Kraftwerk. Florian Schneider brought a knitted hat and the radioactivity was there for you and me.
