Concerts in Sweden

[dujmanu]

Hello. I am a new member of the forum from Romania. I will be living in Sweden for the next 4 months and i was wondering if there's a website or something where i could check the concerts for this period. Mostly metal and folk concerts. And especially Vintersorg or Mr. V's other bands.

Thank you

Sweden is quite big...where will you be staying

 

[Gaunerin]

Some Swedish webzines have lists of gigs to some extend, like metalheart.se and metalcentral.net

 

[dujmanu]

Tack så mycket Gaunerin! Jag bor i Sköldinge, Sörmland, så jag är intresserad mest av konserterna i Stockholm, Göteborg, Norrköping etc.

 

[Gaunerin]

Gbg är ju lite långt borta, eller? Men visst finns det billiga flyg
Hursomhelst, för Sthlm kolla även http://www.extremesthlm.cjb.net/

 

[dujmanu]

2 timmar med tåget, tror jag, det är inte så borta för mig.

Jag vill också fråga om "rock" affärer i Stockholm. Var ligger de?

 

[Gaunerin]

Från Sköldinge tar det minst 3, snarare 4 timmar skulle jag tro

Rockaffärer? Känner bara till Soundpollution, nånstans i Gamla Stan. Nygatan kanske, inte helt säker.
Men visst finns det nån på forumet som vet lite mer om sånt

Hey, that's a cool site!

Dark Funeral och Naglfar spelar ju lite överallt i Sve. nån gång i Mars. Jag tänkte kolla på dem i Karlskrona (närmast min hemstad). Får ju bara inte missas...

 

[thruldom]

Df och nagl spelar ocks&#229; i Stockholm, till gl&#228;dje och gamman, vad &#228;r du ute efter f&#246;r n&#229;t; kl&#228;der eller musik? Musik finns det ton av, hittade n&#229;n trevligt vid S:t Eriksplan som s&#229;lde Taake-box + tshirt.

 

[dujmanu]

Tack för allt. Särskilt metaltravelguide.com - just what i was looking for. Jag ska kolla båda musik och kläder när jag kommer till Stockholm.

That's nice. I don't know why I was surprised such a site exists. Rock Hard Magazine used to have a metal travel guide like 10 years ago or so. Of course smth like that had to be on the net as well.

 

[dujmanu]

And now for something completely different. I'm planning a round trip by rented car from Katrineholm, Sörmland, to Göteborg. Distance: around 350 km, time availabile: around 3 days. Can you please recommend points of interest along this route? Concerning nature, history, stuff like that, that a tourist with a real interest in Sweden and it's culture might find interesting.

Thank you

Dumanju:

There is the closeupfestival in Stockholm during easter (interfering with inferno ) http://www.closeupfestival.se

Otherwise; if your going in that direction you ougth to see the lake V&#228;ttern and maybe if you have time, the nationalpark Tiveden map

 

[Gaunerin]

Oh yeah....Tiveden is nice. There are actually quite a few nationalparks in that area. Since you asked for culture and not so much for nature after visiting Tiveden you could go back a little and drive down on the Eastern side of V&#228;ttern. There's even a marked "turistv&#228;g" which is leading you to the sights along the way (till och med en runsten ). You'll pass Gr&#228;nna, famous for its polkagrisar (if Gr&#228;nna isn't popular with tourists I don't know what is, hehe)......and perhaps you can ferry across V&#228;ttern to Visings&#246;.
Some more info http://www.grm.se/turistinfo/
I have unfortunately not been the Eastern side of V&#228;ttern, so I have no idea about that
