Oliver and I went to Munich for the weekend to see Robbie Williams on his Britpop Tour 2025. We are always looking for reasons to meet and, as weโve done lots of times, we like to combine it with some music and a bit of travel. Returning to Munich is always a treat. Weโve seen... Continue Reading →
Where the Bands Are (Guns nโ Roses, 12 July 2025, Warsaw)
Itโs been just a week since Bruce Springsteen played his final show of the tour, and already the road has called again โ this time to Warsaw for Guns Nโ Roses. In between, life has been a bit hectic: I celebrated Christopher Street Day ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ in Cologne on Saturday, followed by my birthday ๐on Sunday... Continue Reading →
Where the Bands Are (Robert Plant presenting Saving Grace, 11 May 2025, Gothenburg)
It was one of those rare Gothenburg spring evenings where the weather actually cooperates. My friend Ann-Sofie and I met for some food and beer at an Indian restaurant and we could sit outside without freezing our asses off. By the time we walked up to the venue. Konserthuset, for the concert, the sun was... Continue Reading →
Where the Bands Are (The Brothers, 15 April 2025, New York)
We decided pretty late to go to this concert. Honestly, we didnโt know much about the band, or, well, anything really. But we were in New York, and we wanted the chance to see a show at Madison Square Garden. Oliver had been there before for a Pearl Jam concert, and Iโd only ever seen... Continue Reading →
Where the Bands Are (Ashley Monroe, 13 April 2025, New York)
This blogpost picks up where we left off - ok a DUMBO, Brooklyn, on our first full day in New York, Sunday April 13. After hopping off the ferry, we strolled over to the venue with the cutest name: Babyโs All Right. However, as soon as we got to the door, we hit a bit... Continue Reading →
Where The Bands Are (The Dead South, 8 March 2025, Gothenburg
We went to see The Dead South at Gothenburg Film Studios last night, not really knowing what to expect. Bluegrass and folk arenโt genres I usually listen to, but I had heard a few songs before and was curious. The Dead South is a Canadian band known for their mix of bluegrass, folk, and a...

Where the Bands Are (Michael Kiwanuka, 1 March 2025, Brussels)
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. Itโs just the first song, but the venueโs energy is already on top, mostly because... Continue Reading →
