From public pressure to loneliness – Norrköping

It has become a dear tradition this time the last five years. Bråvalla Music Festival. Always in place. Every year, every day. From early morning to late at night. What memories!

Already in connection with the festival last year, the organizer FKP Scorpio announced that there would be a break in 2018. Temporarily, we hoped. Recently, however, came the message that the Bråvalla Festival is established for good. All that remains is wonderful memories and an old airfield whose surfaces are so wide that they never seem to end.

Can you create your own festive feeling on Bråvalla now, a year later?

is worth an answer. Said and done Friday is spent in Bråvalla in the hope that old and beautiful festivals will come back. But, no, the visit will be just a sad reminder that Bråvalla as a festival is considered to belong to yesterday and will gradually be reduced to something turbulent before the rise of Norrköpingsbor is unrelated. In 100 years, Bråvalla is probably some kind of historical reference, which can now be noted for the accident of Geta (100 years old) and Sleipnerguldet (80 years old) or the Russian fires of next year (300 years)

. Field of Bråvalla

Alone alone. The grass, if it is late, seems to be rather untouched and forgotten, and a hare suddenly arises from slightly thicker vegetation in height with the location of the Luna scene. If it had been in 2017, we could have enjoyed Beatrice Eli, Mando Diao or The Chainsmokers at this particular place. Now a punch.

But of course, many memories rinse more than one. Among the concerts that are most evident on the memory shelves are Muse, Elliphant, Horse Band, Lana Del Rey, Belle and Sebastian, In Flames, Sabina Ddumba, Lamb of Good and Biffy Clyro. And equipped with a minimum of imagination, one can understand how his own crowded festival paths crossed the field when he started. Here you could buy fish and chips, where there was a low pressure center, here it was the longest tail for the beer board, where we almost always met someone who knew him and where one could park the bicycle
