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!

The Vaccines @ Nalen
Regeringsgatan 74, 111 39 Stockholm, SwedenThe Vaccines are back to Sweden! The British Indie rockers who had a massive break through in 2011 have just released their fourth album and are setting off to go on a tour including one stop at Nalen in Stockholm on October 30th.
It was at the end of 2010 that The Vaccines started on really. The debut song Wreckin ‘Bar (Ra Ra Ra) / Blow It Up was released and got a single music year to spin. Their debut album the following year became the best-selling album in England (2011) and the success has not diminished since.
With their latest record Combat Sport – the band’s fourth album – the band has found its way back to a bit of raw sound. After touring with their third album, English Graffitti, they realised that the kind of music they like the best is when the guitar is in focus. Supposedly, the new record contains no less than 11 guitar solos on its equal number of tracks and that reminds us a lot of their debut album. In short, Combat Sport is a point where experimental pop was set aside to give way to what contributed to the band’s success debut eight years ago: self-sufficient shortness, breathless tension and fast guitar riffs.

Jorja Smith @ Berns
Berzelii park 1, 111 47 Stockholm, SwedenFew voices will be so lingering in the future as Jorja Smith’s. With a voice that echoes as much the past as the present and future, Smith has already been praised as the voice of a new generation. It was further proved during her grand appearance on Way Out West, where Smith was one of the absolute highlights and accounted for a total knockout. The debut album Lost & Found has been regarded as the soundtrack of 2018. Now we are honoured to receive again Jorja Smith in Sweden this autumn for a show at Berns in Stockholm on October 31st.
