Under Solen is a city festival in Lulea held in early July, bringing three days of music, food, and dance to the city's Norra hamn waterfront area. It premiered in July 2025 and quickly established itself as a gathering point for Lulea's midsummer season.
Lulea sits close enough to the Arctic Circle that its early-July nights barely darken, a setting the city's newest major festival has built directly into its identity.
As a genuinely new festival, premiering in July 2025, Under Solen has moved quickly to build partnerships that give it real programming weight: its 2026 edition folds in the RIX FM Festival lineup at Norra hamn's main stage, featuring Swedish pop and dance-music artists including Klara Hammarstrom, LIAMOO, Robin Bengtsson, and Hanna Ferm, while also introducing a dedicated stage for Norrbotten regional music and, for its second year, a purpose-built space for dance within the festival grounds
Its name, meaning 'Under the Sun', points directly to Lulea's far-northern setting, where the festival's July dates fall close to the summer solstice and the city experiences near-continuous daylight
The festival includes 'Blas Gront' programming
sessions opening conversation between young people and adults about alcohol
safe ways home
and looking after themselves and friends
giving the event a community-safety dimension alongside its entertainment programming
