KITE LIVE 2024

In the organizer's words:

Swedish synth-pop band on tour in 2024

Since the formation of Swedish synth-pop band Kite in 2008, singer Nicklas Stenemo and keyboardist Christian Hutchinson Berg's combination of cinematic electronics and anthemic pop has evolved over the years into an intoxicating spectacle of passion, atmosphere and community, immortalized in their 2019 performance at the Royal Swedish Opera with the support of a 16-piece orchestra.

Although Stenemo and Berg grew up in small Swedish towns (Stenslanda and Tranås respectively), the Kite project has taken them on extensive tours around the world. The elemental melody and emotion of Kite's music resonates in every culture; their lyrics can be felt without being understood. This sense of power extends to their recordings - Kite favor the EP format and have released six to date, true to their ethos of "all killer, no filler".

In 2022, the duo played a series of concerts in the States, sharing bills with other dark synth pioneers such as Front 242 and Cold Cave. But in September 2023, Kite will return to Europe. The special highlight is a concert in their home country. The band gets to play the biggest show of their career on one of the most breathtaking and popular open-air stages in the world: Dalhalla. The open-air theater, built into a former limestone quarry in central Sweden, is a fitting throne for Kite's rise to the highest echelons of global synth-pop.
