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!

D'Angelo @ Annexet
Annexet, Arenatorget, Johanneshov, SwedenThe R & B Icon D’Angelo returns to Sweden for a concert at the Annexet in Stockholm on March 19!
After his Voodoo Tour in 2001, D’Angelo decided to withdraw from the spotlight for a long time. It was not until 2014 that the world heard from D’Angelo again. The album “Black Messiah” was not intended to be released then, but due to the escalating situation of police violence in the United States, D’Angelo decided to release the politically charged album as a statement about the tense situation in the country. In connection with the album release, he went out to a successful European Tour including a sold out concert in Stockholm.
Now, the American R & B legend is looking back at Scandinavia and getting ready for concerts in both Copenhagen and Stockholm! Do not miss it!

The productive Snow has already gilded the year with the mix of The Moon & You – where his sleepy flow is set in a rather interesting context. Snow’s debut album Dear Annie has been well received. Recently, he dropped another taste from the upcoming album in the form of the radiant single Virgo that testifies to another gun release.
