Despite being a nation with a fairly small population, Sweden has managed to put itself on the world map with its many musical talents - Sweden is one of the biggest exporters of music in the world! The wide range of music events that Sweden hosts throughout the year enables a lot of newcomers a chance to be seen on stage. There are festivals which focus on rock and pop music and others which celebrate classical music, choral, jazz and opera - so there is something for everyone.
These celebrations of music showcase not only Swedish artists but also a great number of international acts. So to experience the Swedish festival spirit, visit one of the many music happenings taking place from Malmö in the south to Piteå in the north of our vast country!
