Lustholmen Festival 2025

The Lustholmen 2025 programme is here, presenting 6 days of outdoor and indoor events at Skeppsholmen island, in Stockholm.

This year's edition of our early summer festival mixes lust, light and leftover torpedoes. Old military ghosts meet new rituals of dance, care, rebellion and shimmering cake. History will stir, bodies will move, monuments will fall – and someone might even find the missing Backstreet Boy.

From 11 to 16 June, 2025.
