Bravalla Reclaims Record
Within a month of Live Nation’s Stockholm Fields claiming Sweden’s festival attendance record by pulling 51,863 fans to the city’s Ladugårdsgärdet, it’s about to be reclaimed by Bravalla Festival.

Stockholm Fields took the record from German promoter FKP Scorpio’s Bravalla, which last year attracted 51,590 for one of the three days at the Norrköping site.
This year Bravalla, which has Iron Maiden, Kings Of Leon, and Kanye West, has once again broken the record. “We do not have the exact number yet, but I can say that we have sold over 52,000 tickets,” FKP chief exec Folkert Koopmans told Aftonbladet’s cultural magazine.
The other acts on a record-breaking Bravalla June 26-28 include Lana Del Rey, Bastille, Passenger, The Offspring, Mando Diao, The Hives, Imagine Dragons, The Kooks, and Jake Bugg.
