The basics
City vibes in a countryside setting.
The festival
'Into the valley takes the pulse of the city to the heart of the forest.'
So say the organisers of Into the Valley and we're inclined to agree. The festival takes place in a club which is inside a quarry, which is cool, isn't it? Good, we're glad you agree. Revellers get to dance to the sound of music (not the film about Switzerland and horrible nazis) with lovely trees in the background.
With an array of local and international talent on the cards (or line up, as it's commonly known), the festival looks the perfect excuse to have a little soiree in Scandinavia. Just don't abbreviate it to SS when organising it in an email chain with friends. It will make people think you're nazis. And we already said that wasn't good.
Our tip
Umbrellas are banned at the event because you'll end up blocking everyone's view, which is not a nice thing to do. But they do sell ponchos, and ponchos are sexy.
