The story

Peace and Love in Borlange

Peace and Love was once Sweden's biggest music festival, founded in Borlange in 1999 as a response to local violence and built around an explicit humanitarian message. It ran until 2019, was cancelled in 2020 for the pandemic, and its organising company then declared bankruptcy.

Peace and Love began in Borlange in 1999 as a direct response to ongoing violence in the town, an origin that shaped everything about how the festival would present itself for the two decades that followed.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Peace and Love grew from a first edition of about 900 attendees at a Borlange club in 1999 into Sweden's biggest festival by 2009, when it sold 41,685 tickets, and it maintained that scale into 2010 with 42,000 tickets sold during the same week as Denmark's Roskilde and Norway's Hove festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Each edition carried an explicit annual theme, from Freedom of Speech in 2004 through Democracy, Revolution, and Diversity in later years, embedding a stated humanitarian and political message into the festival's identity rather than treating it as an afterthought
