Grattis, Sverige! This is the post where we predicted that Mew would play at Hultsfred Festival in Sweden and at Ruisrock Festival in Finland. We were a year too early – in one of these cases. Who knows when the other one takes place, but today the band and the festival announced that Mew would…

As we VERY WELL know, next year Mew are releasing a studio album with 10-14 new tracks and many of them are going to be played live when they start touring again. They are anxious to have a chance to travel places they have missed over the years, but the usual suspects (Nordic countries, UK,…

This became a little joke for us, because after you have landed on Værnes airport and you are on your way to Trondheim, the next town is called Hell. Seriously. Add your own joke here. Trondheim’s history goes back a thousand years…

Our Wonderfestiwall contest is now over and the evil lottery machine chose Erika and Thomas this time. They will get two tickets each, so both of them can also bring a friend. Of course, the transportations from Copenhagen to Bornholm island and back are included in these prizes. Have fun at the festival! In this…
