Show a little faith there's magic in the night
Springsteen weekend number four this year took us to Liverpool. Oliver flew in from Germany, I came from Gothenburg, and we met up in Manchester late on Friday night. So late, in fact, that by the time the bus dropped us off in Liverpool, it was already 1:30 am Saturday morning. Apart from the concert,... Continue Reading →
After Manchester and Lille, it was finally time for Marseille. This was a show many of us had been waiting for, not just because it was next on the tour, but because it was one of the four that got postponed last year due to Bruce’s illness. We were actually just about to enter the... Continue Reading →
Another Springsteen trip, this time to Lille, France. I flew in to Brussels on Saturday morning, the day of the show. Leaving after work on Friday wasn’t really an option this time since the trains from Brussels Midi to Lille don’t run in the evening. I met up with Oliver at Brussels Midi, just as...

The tour has finally begun! For me and Oliver I mean. Manchester 2 was the first of nine shows we’ll see together on this leg of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s Land of Hope and Dreams Tour. On Friday after work (May 16th) we flew to Manchester. Oliver from Cologne and I from... Continue Reading →
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 →
We decided pretty late to go to this concert. Honestly, we didn’t 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 I’d only ever seen... Continue Reading →
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: Baby’s All Right. However, as soon as we got to the door, we hit a bit... Continue Reading →
We went to see The Dead South at Gothenburg Film Studios last night, not really knowing what to expect. Bluegrass and folk aren’t 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...

This weekend, Oliver and I were back in Brussels at the beautiful venue Forest National, this time to see Michael Kiwanuka. He’s 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 ”a blend of folk,...

When Jason Isbell announced his ”An Intimate Evening with Jason Isbell”-tour, I knew this was a show I didn’t 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 week’s school holiday in February fitted quite... Continue Reading →
