Throughout Sweden Live's more than ten-year history, Sweden's leading tour companies, artist agencies, partners and music organizers have gathered annually to discuss industry trends and future prospects. Over the years, the conference has become a very popular event within the Swedish music industry, especially as artists' income has become increasingly dependent on playing live and touring.
– We've been fighting for many years to bring Sweden Live to Skellefteå - and now it's finally going to happen. It's a prestigious event with strong competition to host it between cities. With the long-term efforts of Skellefteå municipality and Visit Skellefteå, together with a cultural center that has delivered from the beginning, we have finally achieved our goal. Sofia Andersson Lundberg, program manager at Sara kulturhus, said in a press release.
