GIG: PUTTE I PARKEN
Putte I Parken is quite an interesting festival. Its location in Kungsträdgården means that it’s hyper urban compared to the distance of a usual festival, meaning you can simply walk from the normal streets to the centre of the crowd almost instantaneously. This year’s Stockholm edition is also noticeable for just how many incredible artists they managed to pack in. Dolores Haze, Thundermother, Maria Andersson and Mustasch are just some of the names they’ve confirmed so far. So if you fancy music and a festival environment within literally stone – throwing distance of a tunnelbana station, you know where to go.
