Ten breathtaking festival locations
Dance music with a view
7 Into the Valley, Dalhalla Rättvik
Dalhalla, Rättvik
Into the Valley lands in Sweden for the first time this year, taking place in Dalhalla, an abandoned limestone quarry in the middle of the ancient Dalarna Forest, just outside the small town of Rättvik.
Its natural amphitheatre has to be one of the unique party spaces in the world. Usually used for opera performances; it has also seen performances from the likes of Kraftwerk, Arcade Fire and Sigur Rós.
The Segrén Hedlund collective, responsible for some of Stockholm's best party spaces, are moving in for the two-day event, converting it into a series of clubs surrounded by trees, an open air main stage that backs onto a glorious pool and the natural amphitheatre, which is illuminated at night and reaches up to the skyline all the way round the outskirts of the festival.
Into the Valley takes place in late July
