Crispy leaves rustle at our feet and the first fresher winds are announcing that winter is coming soon. Life starts retracting indoors, but not only homewards… This is also a time for indoor music and film festivals, dining out at cozy restaurants or attending fairs like the Baking and Chocolate Fair. Oh yes, this is also the time we like to dress up like ghosts and pumpkins and go trick-or-treating. Let us guide you to some of this months event highlights, things to see and do in Stockholm.

Chelas – There’s a New Mexican in Town
Located at the trendy Hornstull neighbourhood of Södermalm, at Verkstadsgatan 4, you’ll find Chelas, Stockholm’s newest Mexican restaurant. Chelas opened its doors in July of 2019. The name comes from the Mexican slang word for beers and a phrase the Mexicans use when they want to socialise with friends and family: “Saca las chelas”. Literally translated it means “Bring out the beers”, but it can actually be better interpreted as “Let’s have some beers and hang out”.
The wine culture in Sweden is expanding, especially with the increase of vineyards in Skåne in the south of the country. In fact, 42% of all alcohol sales in Sweden consist of wine, and this is very different from brännvin, the traditional Swedish drink that translates as burn-wine. You can of course buy wine from the state owned Systembolaget. However, the only other place that you can buy wine and enjoy a glass is in licenced restaurants and bars that serve food. There are some great restaurants in Stockholm that unite their food and wine menu in perfect harmony, taking equal consideration to both.

Glasvegas @ Mosebacketerrassen
Södra Teatern, Mosebacke Torg, Stockholm, SwedenThe scotish band Glasvegas struck like a bomb across the entire music world with their self-titled debut album 2008 – and even before that they could count among others Ian Brown from The Stone Roses and Carl Barât from The Libertines as fans. The Glasgow band went straight from the narrow basement to the big scenes without the least hesitation, with magic singles like Geraldine, Daddy’s Gone and Flowers & Football Tops.
The album defined in many ways the music year 2008, and since then it has been labeled several times. This year it has been ten years since the release, which Glasvegas will celebrate with a jubilee show on the Moseback terrace on June 13th.
Glasvegas is one of Scotland’s finest music exports, and with its full lengths has become a big favorite of many. The band has previously performed both big and small shows in Sweden, and always tends to deliver at the highest level no matter where the gig is taking place. The same year as the 2008 debut – they also released the Christmas EP A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like a Kiss) and have since had another two full lengths – by late later … When the TV Turns Two Static released in 2013 and EP : n Secret Truth the following year.
Right now, Glasvegas is in the studio all over the world and works on its yet untitled new album. Even though the jubilee concert on the Moseback terrace is to some extent a retreat, there is also a chance for all fans to hear new. The play is also the only one that the band performs in Swedish soil in 2018.
After the end of the concert, the cult club Bangers’n’Mash – driven by Robert Plaszczyk and Weeping Willow’s front figure Magnus Carlson – is hosting an after party in Södra Bar.
INFORMATION ON TICKETS
Pre-purchase: 335 SEK (including service charge).
The terrace opens at 18.00, on stage 19.30. Note Only standing.
Age limit 18 years (13 years in company of parent or legal guardian).
