Show a little faith there's magic in the night
“Hello, London! It’s Saturday night!” That is how Bruce Springsteen chose to begin the last concert of this year’s European leg at Wembley Stadion in London. What followed for the next three hours was more or less what we’ve been used to see the E Street Band do this whole summer: the first part offering... Continue Reading →
Next to the Strawberry Arena (formerly known as Friends Arena) there’s a big mall, “The Mall of Scandinavia”. Oliver, who had arrived the evening before, and I were having a meal and a couple of beers in a pub there before the concert. Someone had done a really good job creating the setlist that was...

In a venue with a closed roof you are able to use the lighting more effectively than outdoors. That was something that was very noticeable last night in Strawberry Arena in Stockholm compared with Helsinki, where it was naturally light the whole night (which is normal that far north). For starters, it was totally dark... Continue Reading →
”Hey, Odense. Er I klar?” (Are you ready?), Bruce shouts when he walks on the stage at exactly 20:00, and then counts down to Lonesome Day, followed by No Surrender, Prove It All Night and My Love Will Not Let You Down. We’re off to a great start even though I would have preferred the... Continue Reading →

Turns out we were not the only Springsteen fans who chose to attend the sold out concert with The Seeger Sessions Revival in the Button Factory in Dublin on May 6, 2023. There were familiar faces and Springsteen t-shirts all over. The stage was almost too small to host the 13-piece band which is The... Continue Reading →
As readers of this blog already know, I both enjoy going to concerts and to travel. Whenever there’s an opportunity to do both it’s even better. About a year ago my boyfriend and I saw a golden opportunity for me to visit Dublin for the first time as Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit re-announced... Continue Reading →
The Rolling Stones are celebrating 60 “special years” together with live dates across Europe this summer. My boyfriend and I decided to catch up with them in Munich. When #travellingformusic the gem is that you get to travel (obviously) and see, not only great bands performing their music live, but also beautiful cities around the... Continue Reading →
