Skeppsholmen
Stockholm, July 29-31
Stockholm is a city that comes to life in summer and Stockholm music & arts is located on the beautiful island of Skeppsholmen, surrounded by the city’s glittering water landscapes, lies at the heart of Stockholm. Acting as a cultural hub for both Sweden and Scandinavia, Stockholm is a city well deserving of its own international music festival. Stockholm Music & Arts is that festival and with food, drink and great company we will celebrate the city, summer, art and music in a distinctive urban archipelago setting.
We aim to provide a high quality program that is both ambitious and unique that will help expand the musical and cultural horizons of our nation’s capital. On July 29th – 31th this year, Stockholm Music & Arts will continue last years success (Van Morrison, Tori Amos and many more) and offer a program that combines intelligent art with distinct musical artistry – some of the best Sweden (and the world) has to offer.
