Backyard Sessions Festival 2018

Backyard Sessions (SE) festival is back celebrating it’s second year on the 1-2nd September in Malmö!

Backyard Sessions is a two-day gathering that will take place on a Saturday and a Sunday on the 1-2nd September in Folkets Park, a park located in the very heart of Malmö.The festival brings people together from all over the world in a celebration of culture with electronic music, live bands, art, great food, and sunshine!

Last year Backyard Sessions evolved from hosting one-off Sunday events into being a full-fledged festival. The festival is back this year, now aiming at gathering more than 2000 people from all walks of life to dance to electronic beats together, in the sun.

During the two days, the park gets completely transformed into having: two stages with top of the line sound systems, art installations, couches, pop-up street kitchens, tents and a children's village to complete the daytime open air vibe. As the sun sets on Saturday the festival is seamlessly transferred into a multiroom event in the Moriskan Pavilion, a 1901 Malmö signature music palace, in the very center of the park. The festival continues on Sunday at noon starting of with a brunch, and is followed up by nine more hours of music and activities. Children have free admission to the festival as long as they are accompanied by parents.

Presenting the top names in electronic music from all other the world and taking pride in local Malmö talent, Backyard Sessions is not just a place for both die-hard house and techno heads, but also for people who haven't experienced electronic music and might be joining for the other elements of entertainment that Backyard Sessions has to offer.
