”It is very boring to not do a festival this year, but we see that it is the right decision to come back stronger than ever next year”, says Popagandas project manager Elin Nilsson in a press release.

Festivalentusiaster have long been puzzled as to why it has been so quiet from the festival in different channels. The website has been down for a time, and nothing has been reported about the booked artists on whether Popagandas Facebook or Instagramkonto.

”the break is seen as an opportunity for the association to review its position on the festivalkartan”.

”We want to have a long-term Popaganda and this, we believe is built by to sometimes take tough decisions. Now we get the chance to focus on creativity and what we can improve and strengthen the forwards so that we next year can do our best festival ever”, says Elin Nilsson.

Popagandas other activities, such as club nights and endagsfestivalen “Popaganda at the park theater”, will be arranged as usual.

Popaganda was held for the first time in 2002 on the campus in Stockholm. 2006 moved the festival at Eriksdalsbadet, Södermalm.
