Last Time We Parted Linn Levine

There are some shows you can feel coming a mile away. This is one of them. On 5 November, Bläck is playing Medley in Malmö. Start 21:00. They’re sharing the night with Mönstera and Criminal Offender, and if you like your guitars loud and your choruses big, you should probably stop pretending you’re “thinking about it” and just show up. I’ve seen enough rooms go from half-awake to fully alive the second the right band hits the first riff. That’s the kind of energy Bläck brings

Bläck live at Gamla Ullevi before GAIS (12:30, free entry) Gothenburg — listen. This Saturday Bläck are playing live at Gamla Ullevi before the GAIS game. If you’re already going to the match, come early and get the day started the right way. If you’re not even going to the match — still pull up. It’s free entry and it’s going to be loud. Bläck is one of those bands that doesn’t do “background music”. It’s nu grunge from Gothenburg: distorted guitars, big hooks, real emotion.

LINN LEVINE IS COMING TO GÖTAPLATSEN ON OCTOBER 10! We’re so happy to share that Linn Levine will be with us at Götaplatsen during World Mental Health Day. Linn is a Swedish artist and songwriter with a powerful presence and music that truly resonates. On October 10, we’ll experience her in a stripped-back live format—where the music gets to take center stage, right in the middle of our shared manifestation for mental health. Because sometimes you don’t need that many words.A

There’s a specific kind of overwhelm that only hits in a city: you’re surrounded by options, energy, people, and movement — but somehow you still feel stuck, unsure which direction is actually yours. That’s the emotional core of Dilba’s new track “Lost in the City”, out now. But this isn’t just another single. It’s a clear step forward — a track that feels like a turning point. Meet Dilba Dilba are a Stockholm-based female songwriting duo with a rare combination: strong, emot

A Night at Musslan: Dilba Live with Emma Zetterberg. Some gigs are about hype. This one is about connection. Dilba takes the stage at Musslan for an intimate live night where every lyric lands and every chorus feels earned. Expect a set with edge, emotion, and that rare kind of energy you only get when the room is fully present. Opening the night is Emma Zetterberg, bringing her own world to the stage — the perfect support set to set the atmosphere before Dilba steps in. Whet

Linn Levine drops “STOP”! when control cracks and the truth gets loud! Some songs sound good. Others tell the truth. Linn Levine’s latest single “STOP” is an emotional soul/R&B release for anyone who’s ever tried to keep life perfectly organised—until the body, the mind, and the heart refuse to cooperate. It starts in the everyday: laundry on Mondays, routines, dishes, a glass of wine, the constant prioritising. But underneath the structure, something heavier builds—fatigue,

Undergoth Festival Göteborg Gothenburg gets loud again. Grommet headlines Undergoth Festival on August 28 — with Bläck, Mojo Pin, and WHEN completing the bill.

Tonight at 00:00, Swedish artist and songwriter dilba releases her debut album typical me, a deeply personal body of work that feels like pressing play on the chapter of life where everything changes at once. This is music for the in-between: the nights that run too late, the friendships that save you, the heartbreak that teaches you, and the quiet moments where you realize you’re not who you were a year ago — and you’re not done becoming who you’re meant to be. A debut album

Music is the heartbeat of film and television. It sets the mood, drives the story, and connects viewers emotionally. But behind every perfect soundtrack lies a complex process: music licensing. Without it, filmmakers and TV producers would struggle to find the right sounds legally and creatively. I want to share how music licensing enhances film and TV, why it matters, and how it opens doors for artists and music companies like South Nation Music. If you’re an artist, a live

Decibel Blonde to Undergoth – Sweden’s least known rock band (for now) Some bands try to get discovered. Others just show up, take the room, and leave a mark you can’t shake. We’re hyped to announce that Decibel Blonde are booked for Undergoth. “Probably Sweden’s least known rock band” That’s how Decibel Blonde describe themselves. But after two single releases, more gigs, and a growing buzz, that line is starting to feel outdated. Weirdly enough, Stockholm’s live scene has a

Stockholm’s raw-rock agitators Giftorm are officially confirmed for UNDERGOTH FESTIVAL #1 — landing in Gothenburg on July 4 for a night built on volume, identity, and unapologetic live energy. Giftorm is a Stockholm-based rock band channeling punk urgency through distorted guitars, heavy basslines, restless rhythms, and experimental textures. Formed by high school friends united by chaos, curiosity, and sheer decibels, the band thrives on performances that feel more like a su

BLACKSTONE (Gothenburg) are confirmed for Undergoth Festival — and this is the kind of set you’ll be talking about long after the lights go out. BLACKSTONE is a rock band consisting of five members from the Gothenburg area. Their sound is rooted in a blend of ’90s grunge and ’70s metal and blues. The band was formed during their time at the music school Rytmus, with all members sharing the idea of creating music based on drive and heaviness. Born out of Gothenburg’s heavy sce
