GIG: NADJA EVELINA
“I think it’s because I’ve written the album over a time when I myself have moved here. So every day was exploring a new place, and I think using the places’ names in the songs is trying to make myself at home in a way. I notice it even when I speak, that I was happy when I realised you could walk from Medis to Skanstull. It’s like the city coming together for you, when you live in a place. You notice it in the record, because it’s been part of my personal process to feel at home in the city”. Nadja Evelina is now very much at home in Stockholm, and she takes to one of the city’s stages this weekend to celebrate her new album Vi?, for the record’s big release show at Debaser. Support comes from Riga Tiger.

CLUB: DEPARTMENT
As well as aiming to be a climate-positive festival, Department have also put together a line-up that brings some of the biggest and shiniest names in clubbing, as well as some rising stars, to Slakthusområdet. Adam Beyer and Fatima Osman are just some of the obvious highlights of the line-up, but there’s plenty more to get you through one massive day of clubbing. You can read more about it here.

Are you looking to get your green fingers into gear with summer coming up? Then maybe the Plantloppis (Plant Market) at Hötorgsterrassen might be the thing for you.
