About Arvikafestivalen:
Behind Arvikafestivalen is the non-profit event organization Galaxen, which has more than 2000 young members, most of who are between ages 15 and 25.
Arvikafestivalen offers a unique mix of the best and most exciting artists, big and small, swedish and international, within carefully chosen genres. Arvikafestivalen 2005 could proudly present 130 artists performing on 6 stages during 3 days, and we combine – among other things – music, theater, art, poetry, movies, atmosphere, extraordinary experiences and discoveries.
Arvikafestivalen is a youthful and innovatory festival, both regarding program and implementation. You can tell this by the strong will within the festival, and also by the turnout of volunteers and new people ready to shoulder positions with great responsibility. This means that we are in a process of constant change and improvement.
Arvikafestivalen has been held every year since 1992. The last five years the number of visitors has been over 10 000, with a fabulous record attendance of ca 18 000 in 2006, when bands such as The Knife and Franz Ferdinand were the big acts, a new record for Arvikafestivalen.
Musically, Arvikafestivalen has been characterized by its profiling towards new, qualitative and fresh music. There are a number of good examples of artists that performed in Arvika before they hit it big – Cardigans, The Prodigy, The Soundtrack of Our Lives, The Hives...
Artists performing on Arvikafestivalen during the years include Björk, The Cure, The Sisters of Mercy, Primal Scream, The Prodigy, Placebo, PJ Harvey, Muse, Tricky, Moby, Rollins Band, Type o Negative, Soft Cell, Levellers, Front 242, Biohazard, Einstürzende Neubauten, Motörhead, Paradise Lost and Laibach.
