We had a really nice start at the “Popaganda” yesterday, even though Philipp did not feel so good. Everyone is kind of sick in Stockholm right now, so we didn’t stay that long. The “Lykkle Li” show was really fantastic and “Steve Aoki” rocked the crowd from the first second of his set. I didn’t know that “Lykkle Li” is that famous in sweden. But we noticed a few funny things for “continental-europeans” ;)

Don’t get that wrong, cause we like to live here but we have to write it down ;)

  • Everything needs a line. No matter what, get a number and wait. That was the first thing I learned in sweden. Be patient. For a festival that means:
    a really long line for the toilett, I mean a really long line, maybe about 150 meters.
  • For the beer there was also a line with a line barrier like at the airport. ;)
  • You can pay your beer with a creditcard
  • You have to show your ID to get in the beerarea. ;) Yeah, right! There is a special area for people over 18 and only there it is allowed to drink alcohol and the line was really long to get in.
  • It was also a line for taking pictures even when you had a photopass
  • In the middle of the festival area there was one little smoking area
  • The backstage area was really empty. A couple of years ago I worked with some swedish artists and they were wondering why there were so many people at the backstage area at the festivals where we were. Hihi, now I know the reason. There was really nobody there. Funny, because I had the best parties in my life at the backstage area of so many festivals.
  • There were a lot of people with a coffee-backpack, like the backpacks with beer and other hard alk

But we also liked a few things: ;-)

  • A good point is, in Sweden I’m not the oldest person at the parties. There are a lot mid 30ties ;)
  • The festival is really clean
  • Everyone had a really nice time
  • It was really in the middle of the city and good to reach
  • I think no ambulance is needed, because no stress
  • No police, just a few security people
  • The sound was great and the lightshow was fantastic
  • And hi, my meal was not like a festival meal!!!!!!! Good tasting indian food. Thanks Olle for the tipp.
