A new standard
Viva Sounds looks good! Clean, sharp, smooth – it’s the kind of site that makes you proud and a little bit nervous. Now we gotta level up the festival to match how good we look online.
STORYTELLING
Music isn’t content, it’s culture. But with the connection fading, replaced by clicks, streams and endless feeds, who will tell the stories that moves us? Guess we gotta look elsewhere.
LISTENING EARS
Viva Sounds is back this November, and we're shaping a sharp, relevant and useful space for the independent music community. Who should take the stage, and what should we dig into?
No rest for the weary
The new album is out, the tour is incoming, the flag is flying high and Albert af Ekenstam has a role to play in all of it. No rest for the wicked, and Albert is moving towards new ideas.
LOST IN THE NOISE?
Exploring new music in the age of algorithms is not in fashion. Still, is passively being served sounds you did not order good enough? New music isn’t dead, it just smells kinda funny.
THE RETURN OF ADWAITH
They came, they played, they saw and now they return. Adwaith (UK) are back in Gothenburg on March 21, and we hope to see you all at Hängmattan! Bring thunder, welsh and fun.
A COLOSSAL PERFORMANCE
Time to check your head 'cause we want the airwaves when we're bringing Sunhill and Telos Vision to New York and The New Colossus Festival this week. No reason to miss it any of it.
Joining forces with EMEE
Nobody's better off by themselves, at least not many - and we're happy to be the fresh add to the mix that makes up European Music Export Exchange. It's a cool thing to have friends.
SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE
Summer Sounds, here we go again! Two stages, one ticket and loads of music. See you May 28, and please do remember that we only allow real summer vibes. Dress accordingly and enjoy.
WESTSIDE MUSIC SWEDEN
is a small company shouting about the (indie) music businesses, their artists and their music, from Gothenburg and the region of Västra Götaland. Formed as a platform we're built on 52 partners all active in the indie community. It's pretty cool.
