LET'S FACE THE SUN

LET'S FACE THE SUN

Let's go, let's go to Ostrava, Budapest, Inverness and Mexico City with Sylvie's Head, Rome is not a Town, Boy With Apple and Klara Goliger! Pack bags and off you go to play music! 

PART OF THIS THING

PART OF THIS THING

Music has always been traveling and the new project Crescendo means we're handing out passports. The project will elevate what we're already been doing at Viva Sounds. 

LET'S GO - MEXICO

LET'S GO - MEXICO

Things happen and then there's other things that happen. So we talked to Klara Goliger about going to Mexico, and to Arturo Díaz Uriza about putting this nice little tour together. 

DON'T WAIT FOR SUMMER

DON'T WAIT FOR SUMMER

Summer doesn't wait for permission, neither do we. Saturday 6th we got rooms to fill, bands to enjoy and shades enough to go blind around the neigborhood. It's - Viva Summer Sounds!

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

It's that time of the year again, when we look south towards Aarhus and SPOT Festival. This time we bring with us six of Gothenburg's finest for a proper good Friday, all around town.

JUST GET IT OUT THERE

JUST GET IT OUT THERE

Sylvie's Head are getting into it. Leaving the country for three shows in cities they never played before, and the debut album is just around the corner. Let's get in the van.

DON’T SLEEP ON JUNE

DON’T SLEEP ON JUNE

Don't fret – summer’s just around the corner, and so is our yearly Viva Summer Sounds. We've got a spine-tingling mix of power pop and rock’n’roll coming your way in June.

THE GRAND US TAKEOVER

THE GRAND US TAKEOVER

Three Gothenburg acts are carrying Sweden’s flag across the Atlantic this March. We caught up with Pär Hagström and Mika Häkki before takeoff to talk cowboy hats and bats at sunset.

THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT

THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT

There's a whole lotta great music released by great labels (and people) nominated for the finest indie-award this time around. It's time for Manifestgalan to celebrate the cool of 2025.
