Music summer at Pustervik
A staple on Gothenburg’s music scene is Pustervik at Järntorget – a historic former cinema and theatre hall that’s now a popular concert venue with a capacity of around 900 people. The upstairs dining room features a smaller, more low-key stage that can host up to 200 standing guests.
This summer, the intimate venue will welcome the legendary THE THE with their powerful blend of post-punk and new wave, and Donny Benet will bring sweaty nu-disco with a distinctly 1980s vibe. Gothenburg band Graveyard will also take the stage on 31 May.
Here, intimacy and energy come together in every performance. Read more here for the full summer program.
