Starting from the summer 2024 the festival will be kept at Kanaanbadet, a big and family friendly beach with walking distance from Blacksburg and Vällingby, north of Stockholm.

The Festival has been kept at Lappis Beach in Stockholm since 2017. The summer of 2023 we were facing some issues with the ground due to a lot of raining which created too much mud where the audience should have been. Also due to the fact that the festival has been growing a lot each year we also wanted to have a new location that can hold enough space for the audience, market and food vendors.

No, the festival is free of charge and free entry for everyone!

The afterparty is kept at Hilma club in Stockholm City, the age limit is 20 years. Tickets to the afterparty can be bought online on this website for a discounted price. 

There are 3 ticket options, Tickets for food, back stage Ticket and Tickets for our after party at Club Himla. Entrance to the festival is free of cost.

The beach is roughly 15-20 minutes walk from Blacksburg, Råcksta or Vällingby subway station. The Festival provides a shuttle that drives attendees from the Station to the beach and vice versa  every half hour. However if attendees wish to walk and capture the lush beautiful landscape along the journey then feel free to do so. A route description is specified in the (arrival & parking) button above on this page.

We have a strict no refund policy. Unless the organizers of the festival cancel the event, NO refund will be granted.
