The story

Dansbandsveckan Malung in Malung

Svenska dansbandsveckan, the Swedish dance band week, is Sweden's largest dansband festival, held every year in week 29 at Malungs Folkets Park Orrskogen. It defines Malung's summer calendar and hosts the industry's prestigious Guldklaven award for the year's leading touring dansband acts and singers each July.

Malung, a small town in Dalarna on the banks of the Vasterdalalven river, transforms each July into the undisputed centre of Swedish dansband culture.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Dansbandsveckan is built around dansband, a distinctly Swedish and Nordic genre of dance-oriented pop music with its own dedicated festival infrastructure, fan culture, and industry awards, unlike most Western festival circuits organised around rock, pop, or electronic genres

02

The mystery stays covered

Its centrepiece award, Guldklaven, the Golden Clef, is handed out at Orrskogen during the week and stands as the dansband industry's most prestigious honour, drawing bands and fans from across the country to a single small Dalarna town for the occasion
