This weekend, Oliver and I were back in Brussels at the beautiful venue Forest National, this time to see Michael Kiwanuka. Heโs a British singer-songwriter that Oliver first recommended to me back in 2022 when he played at the Way Out West Festival in Gothenburg. His music is often described as โa blend of folk,...

Where the Bands Are (Jason Isbell 12 February 2025, Dublin)
When Jason Isbell announced his โAn Intimate Evening with Jason Isbellโ-tour, I knew this was a show I didnโt want to miss. However, with only five dates in Europe (and none of them in Sweden) it was going to be tricky to find a suitable one. Luckily, a weekโs school holiday in February fitted quite... Continue Reading →
Where the Bands Are (Zach Bryan, 21 November 2024, Vancouver)
As I mentioned in my last post, the coincidental placement of the Zach Bryan concerts a day and two ahead of Springsteenโs in both Edmonton and Vancouver brought us on the trip to Canada in the first place. We didn't get any affordable tickets for Zach Bryan in Edmonton, but for Vancouver we had better... Continue Reading →
Where the Bands Are (Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls, 11 November 2024, Gothenburg)
Wasting no time โ for they have show no 2973 and a 25-song setlist to get through โ Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls launch into No Thank You for the Music, a loud punk number from the latest album, โUndefeatedโ.

Where the Bands Are (Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, 9 November 2024, Copenhagen)
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.

A trip to NYC for Easter led to discovering Lime Cordiale, an energetic indie pop rock band from Australia.
Where the Bands Are (Madrugada, 2 september 2023, Hamburg)
Living in Gothenburg, most of the times there aren't any direct fligths to where you want to travel. This time I had to fly to Munich to get to Hamburg. The bad thing was that the flight was 20 minutes late and I only had a 40 minutes layover to begin with. My Lufhansa app... Continue Reading →
Where the Bands Are (The Seeger Sessions Revival, 6 May, 2023)
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 →
