In Flames - Announce Their Own Festival
After Epica, now it's In Flames' turn to announce their own festival. The Gothenburg legends just announced their very own two-day festival called "Borgholm Brinner", or "Borgholm Is Burning", which will be held at the infamous Borgholm Castle of Eastern Sweden's island of Öland. On each evening, In Flames will perform an exclusive headline set after a lineup of around 5 bands - soon to be announced.
The dates to remember are Friday, July 27th and Saturday, July 28th. "Borgholm Brinner" allows fans to be part of a milestone in the band's history - an exclusive weekend filled with the best food and drinks (including Anders Fridén and Björn Gelotte's beer brand, Frequency Beer Works and an exclusive batch of In Flames Gin), bands and a few more surprises in an intimate setting.
Singer Anders Fridén states: "I think every band dreams of being able to do this one day - at least for us it's always been in the back of our minds and right now feels like the best time to do it. Whether or not it's putting on your own festival, it's an indescribable feeling to have created a community from your music, and even crazier to have the ability bring that community together in a physical place - playing and enjoying music together, drinking together etc. And in a castle of all places. That's another thing. It wouldn't be an In Flames festival if it were just happening on a plot of dirt. It's got to be special so our fans can have the ultimate experience, so we can pay them back for being so great to us for 20 years with an awesome weekend they'll never forget. We've also hand picked the best bands for everyone to enjoy and although we can't say who's playing yet, we can promise there will be no disappointments."
In Flames recently released a digital EP Down, Wicked & No Good featuring cover versions of Depeche Mode's 'It's No Good', Alice In Chains' 'Down In A Hole', Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game', and a live version of Nine Inch Nails' 'Hurt'. Due to high demand from the Jesterheads, the songs will now be released as a 10'' mini-LP on March 16th, 2018.

I think they might be disqualified from being Gothenburg "legends" at this point. Maybe hipster legends, i'll give em that.

Sometimes I listen to some previous In Flames albums and I feel so high and full of energy ! Sometimes I stumble into modern In Flames and I suddenly feel so old and depressed. Lock yourself up into that castle and start making good music again if you are still able to !

I always hoped there would be at least a little return to the old days but I permanently gave up hope after the last EP.. They're a bunch of sellouts.. Just like bands like Metallica, Evanescence & Within Temptation for example..

I wonder what bands they'll invite. No doubt it will be more focus on -core stuff, unfortunately. It would be cool if it were a bunch of Gothenburg bands and melodeath-focus. I've recently started enjoying newer IF, so I'm interested in going to this if the other bands turn out to be good.

Written by Kuroboshi on 01.01.2018 at 16:22 Well... supposedly they're still friends with the other Gothenburg bands... But I'm not sure we'll see either Dark Tranquillity or At The Gates in the line-up. Wait and see...
