Paradise for pop and electronic music fans

Did you know that Sweden is one of the most successful exporters of pop music in the world? When ABBA won Eurovision in 1973, they became the most famous Swedish band, but Sweden has produced many other notable musicians. Avicii, Roxette, and Robyn are all Swedish! In addition to these well-known performers, Sweden is home to one of the world's top songwriters and producers, Max Martin. Martin has co-written and produced many chart-topping songs, including Britney Spears'...Hit Me Baby One More Time, Taylor Swift's Shake It Off, and The Weekend's Blinding Lights. Spotify, a music streaming service, was also created in Sweden, and its headquarters are in Stockholm.

Sweden is also home to a number of large-scale music festivals. Summerburst in Goteborg is one of the most popular, and it is now in its tenth year! David Guetta and Marshmello, among others, will take the stage in 2022. If EDM isn't your thing, head to Solvesborg for the Sweden Rock Festival. This festival has featured the world's biggest rock bands since 1992. The year 2022 will be no exception, with rock legends Guns N' Roses and local favorites In Flames taking the stage.
