Live karaoke with a live band
For three days (15–17 August), you can live out your artist dreams and sing karaoke, not to a backing track, but with a real band. Step onto the stage in the heart of Stockholm, win prizes and have fun, whether you’re a seasoned performer or just want to try it out.
YOUNG
YOUNG Culture Festival
At Sergels torg you’ll find the YOUNG Culture Festival – the part of the Culture Festival made especially for those aged 13 to 19.
The festival was called “Ung08” from 2001 to 2013 and later “We Are Sthlm” until 2022, when it became part of the Stockholm Culture festival and moved from Kungsträdgården to Sergels torg.
Here, you can jump into a football tournament, watch movies under the open sky, or gather your courage and sing on our open mic stage.
Meet exciting organizations and businesses, hang out with friends, try out creative workshops, and join fun competitions.
The YOUNG Culture Festival is the place to discover new interests, make new friends, and just have a great time. Come by and experience all it has to offer!
