THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT
There's a whole lotta great music released by great labels (and people) nominated for the finest indie-award this time around. It's time for Manifestgalan to celebrate the cool of 2025.
ANSWERING THE CALL
We head north. Nordic Live Incubator brings new faces and shared ground to cover across the Nordics. First stop: Trondheim Calling, with Nora Lucia stepping into the year ahead.
2026 is moving real fast
Oh, just when we thought we were done, a new year started up. Time to get back in the saddles, there's trouble to find in NO, US, UK, ES, SK, DE, FR, BE, PT and lots, lot's more to come. Perfect.
THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN
It's that time of year again when we slow down, look back, smile and recharge for a new intense period of ca 365 days. 2025 was heavy and wonderful, 2026 will rock out as well. Just wait.
Viva Conference 2025
In the middle of the noise, we got new music, new artists and ecosystems around them, somewhat lost. At this year’s Viva Conference, it's personal and all about music discovery.
INTO THE UNKNOWN
Klara Goliger heads to Aalborg for Fallen Flags - a cross-city collaboration pushing the limits of sound and improvisation. Five musicians, four cities and all ready to make some new music!
It's time to lose your shit
We’ve been bringing bands to Waves Vienna for a while, and this year we’re turning it up again. Enter Ängel – a wound of love, wired to drive people wild. Hey Vienna, get ready to rave rock!
JUST GET IT OUT OF HERE!
Just like dogs can't piss on moving cars, you can't hold good bands down. We got links moving out from home for the coming months - and then we bring it all back home for Viva Sounds.
HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF
That's what we call a slam dunk title, but when a band name is what is, it is what is. Wolfschmidt are heading out abroad, into the great wide open and they are psyched for it. Here we go.
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.
