Festivals near Malmö

In Malmö, music plays out across two shores. The city nurtures a demanding electronic scene, anchored by the experimental Intonal festival and clubs such as Inkonst and Plan B, while Malmöfestivalen turns the centre into one vast free gathering each summer. Yet Malmö's real identity rests on the Øresund bridge: thirty minutes away lies Copenhagen, where the bill stretches from the metal of Copenhell to the techno nights of Karrusel, by way of the cosmopolitan jazz of Roots & Jazz Copenhagen.

That dual belonging makes Malmö an ideal base for exploring the best of the Sound. Open-air fans will find Syd For Solen and the indie buzz of Engage Festival, between Nordic guitars and pop discoveries. To navigate this cross-border line-up, FestT computes your FestiScore — how closely a festival's programme matches your favourite artists — and keeps dates and ticketing constantly up to date.
