This past week I have been away to the west coast of Sweden on a Christian Music Festival called "Gullbranna Festivalen". It was my first time there, and I very much enjoyed it. The quality of the bands playing was very high, with bands such as Leeland and Stryper performing, as well as some less known but quality Swedish bands such as Rånarligan and Billion Ocean. However the highlight of the whole concert was hands down Switchfoot. This was their first concert in Sweden, and I for one thought it lived up to all its hype. The concert hall was PACKED and when Switchfoot came out on stage the whole crowd erupted! At one point, the lead singer Jon Foreman, waded into the crowd and started singing atop a chair or something in the middle of everyone (see video). Switchfoot later rounded off the evening by having the lights dimmed and singing their song "Only Hope" with everyone in the crowd shining their flashlight-apps. All in all a great concert in a fun festival.
Note: Due to how incredibly loud it was, the sound got a bit muffled, but you get the idea...
