WHAT’S ON STOCKHOLM: November 2019

November is that time of the year many regard as dark, but funnily enough, Stockholm gives us many sparkly and enlightened ways to have fun and keep our minds away from the gloomy weather conditions. Such as the Stockholm Film Festivals, where stars of the movie world shine on the red carpets of the city’s cinemas and the light of the projectors on the screens takes us to worlds we have only dreamed of. Stockholm itself also starts glittering, when the streets are dressed with the Christmas decorations. No, this is not a dark time, it’s a time to see the light in different shapes.

Here are some of the glittering events you should not miss this month!

    19:00 -22:00
    27/01/2018
    Stockholm, 111 51 Stockholm, Sweden

    Three of the most interesting hip hop artists of the Swedish scene will perform with separate concerts at Studion. Celebrating the show Folkmusik 2.0 – Swedish hiphop remixed with thunder and broke!

    JIREEL
    The young rapper from Rågsved south of Stockholm has soon exploded as one of the country’s most noticed hip hop promises. Jireel debuted in November 2015 with the song “Here & Now” and has since continued with his crisp, modern style. Songs like “Like Me”, “Long Guy” and Superheater “Cataleya” made 2016 to his perhaps strongest year to date. “Snap” from recently released EP ‘Jettad’ is already mentioned as a milestone in Swedish hiphop – and when Jireel received the great honor to finish the entire Grammis Gala 2017, we could see a taste of a brilliant live artist. Now he is on a great tour of the country! Jireel has just begun.

    Sammy & Johnny Bennett
    The video and song 5DF with Sammy & Johnny Bennett struck down as a bomb on the Swedish rap scene in spring 2016. The word about the pair of parents and the TU5EN collective from Gothenburg spread like a runaway. More and more have stood in the tribute choir for their amazing flow, rhythm and attitude since the brothers’ debut EP: Hundreds80 released last year.
    At the Grammis Gala in 2017, Sammy & Johnny Bennett was well deserved in the category Newcomer of the Year. They are also nominated in the category “Hip Hop of the Year / RnB” on the P3 Gold Galaxy 2018 for their second EP ST.RECK released this year. Duon has this year Toured in Scandinavia with Lorentz and is currently working on his debut album. In anticipation of more details about the release of this, the audience can start by listening to the brothers’ latest single Proof.

    Jelly
    On the 8th Sept, JËLLY released his debut Allting / Nothing. A EP about disappointment and sadness, but also about finding back to strength again. JËLLY is the first artist on Adam Tensta’s newly launched label JÄRN.

    Age Range: All ages (13+)
