Pontonen is a beautiful restaurant located on Debaser beach near the well-known club Debaser. On May 4, the restaurant is preparing a seasonal premiere – the opening of the beloved summer terrace overlooking the nearby water – with delicious meals, great prices and live music. You are welcome to come with your friends or family to enjoy fresh meals and have a good time.
Stockholm and cruises go together like bread and butter, or better said, Swedes and fika. During the May Day weekend – May 5-7 – X-CRUISE welcomes all party-loving souls for almost three days of fun, parties, live music, meals, drinks and so much more – and all this while cruising through the waters of Stockholm so you can enjoy the view.
Kravallen or Riot is an established party that takes place once a year. Although partying is the main purpose, no one can deny that the delightful and surprising repertoire of their selection of artists will impress you. This party is mainly intended for students, but everyone is welcome to attend this event on May 6.
The spring speech will take place in Långholmen and you can look forward to several influential people in Stockholm or representatives from various organizations striving for a better situation for their chosen ideologies – from youth to women’s associations. It’s time to give everyone their right to freedom of expression. Join them on May 6, there will be plenty of activities involved and of course delicious food.
Eros Ramazzotti is one of the leading figures in Italian music. He is popular all over the world and his hits have struck deep into our souls and minds. In May, we can enjoy his concert in Stockholm at the Avicii Arena. If you are in need of nostalgia or simply admire his talents, don’t miss his special live show on May 6 at the Avicii Arena.
Queen Bee is back in Stockholm for her special Reinassance world tour. No one can argue that Beyoncé and her hits like Halo, Single Ladies, If I Were A Boy and many more are works of art that show her great passion for music and her talent. On May 10, you are welcome to attend this unique concert at Friend Arena in Stockholm.
If you want to relax and enjoy a good drink with your friends, you can attend the Stockholm Rum and Caribbean Drinks Festival. On May 13, during World Cocktail Day in Stockholm, you can taste more than 100 different types of delicious cocktail drinks. Professional bartenders will be ready for you. Definitely, a festival you don’t want to miss.
If you’re more of an artistic person, check out Cirque du Soleil’s OVO show taking place between May 18 and 21. Mesmerizing music, movements and astonishing gymnastics are guaranteed to leave you breathless. This event is perfect for anyone who loves the circus or for families with children.
Spring Run is back for everyone who wants to celebrate the warmer and sunnier weather. The winter has been so long and without a proper chance to enjoy a good run. So finally, it is our pleasure to welcome spring with a lovely friendship run starting from Norra Djurgården on May 25. Make sure to sign up in advance to get a better price.
At the end of May, on May 31, Peter Gabriel will finally return to Europe – with 22 stops on our continent. This tour called “i/o” is a tribute to an equally named new album that he has been working on for so long and we think it was worth the wait.
