Stockholm Love Affair is a new festival that celebrates our little Nordic town through a passion for music and community. The inaugural festival this spring is filling a gap in EDM culture that Stockholmers usually get plenty of in the winter and summer months, but not enough of when the snow starts to melt and the trees start to green.
