EVENTS CALENDAR

Christmas market at Skansen
The Christmas market at Skansen has been a yearly tradition since 1903. The market square is filled with food, treats and decorations and the bonfires are lit. All the historical houses and farmsteads are decorated and in the town quarter you can meet skilled craftsmen. There will be craft demonstrations and live music in the buildings where the tables also are set for Christmas dinner. Young and old can participate in the dancing around the Christmas tree and make their own Christmas decorations in the workshop. Christmas starts at Skansen!

Weekends November 30th – December 22. For more information visit https://www.skansen.se/en/julmarknad-på-skansen

Open daily 11-18 until 23 December.
Free entrance.

For a few years during the 1990s, all eyes were directed towards Umeå. At least those who liked loud music. The reason was the rare vital hardcore scene that filled the mid-sized city’s leisure farms with angry, young people every week. The mother ship was the band Refused, whose afterburning proved to be a perfect breeding ground for hungry bands with a dream of once becoming as good and important as the role models. They never did. With the epoch-making album ‘The Shape Of Punk To Come’ from 1998, Refused changed not only the Swedish stage’s perception of what loud music can be, but the whole world. The sequel ‘Freedom’ from 2015 showed that Refused never gave up its revolution, just waiting for the right time to return.

Boiler Room links up with Kvarteret this December, Stockholm’s most vital music space located in the city’s Slaughterhouse district.
