Story

VISBYFESTIVALEN, 16-20th of August

Acoustic, smaller format and intimate – that's what Visbyfestivalen is about.

Music is not always about the big stages and crowds, or who is on the latest hit lists. For us, music is a meeting between an artist and an audience. In this meeting, magic happens. Words and notes is brought to life, thoughts and experiences is shared, voices and music transcends all barriers and go right in to your heart.

Straight from the artists hearts to yours!
