The multi-city music festival Putte I Parken will be back in Stockholm in July. The festival, which also takes place in Karlstad and Leksand this year, has just announced its line-up for the Stockholm edition. Ängie, Lilla Namo, Dotter, Esther Vallee, Shirin, Joy, The Magnettes, Orkid, Hanna Larsson & Andrea, Amanda Fondell, Py Bäckman and Mimi Werner will be coming to Kungsträdgården at the end of July. More artists will be announced in future.

As you might have noticed, the Stockholm line-up is 100% female this year. Festival organiser Niclas Lagerstam says this was intentional. “We have chosen to only book female acts to Putte I Parken in Stockholm because we want to book with equality in mind across all our festivals. We have reached that goal in Karlstad, so that’s great. We have absolutely not reached it in Leksand, and so we even out the total by booking only female artists for Stockholm. We want to take our responsibility for equality on the stage, and we are enormously glad with the great line-up we have gotten for Stockholm” he said, reports Nöjesguiden.
