Show a little faith there's magic in the night
Wasting no time – for they have show no 2973 and a 25-song setlist to get through – Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls launch into No Thank You for the Music, a loud punk number from the latest album, “Undefeated”. It’s just the first song, but the venue’s energy is already on top, mostly because... Continue Reading →
The exciting month of November 2024 continues. This time we packed our bags and headed to Copenhagen for the weekend to see Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. I was actually travelling by bus.

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 →
The start of SpringsteenTour2024! This year we are doing fewer shows. Already when the concerts were announced we agreed on a couple of rules on to what shows to attend.
