We are happy to announce the return of Gothenburg Queer Lindy Festival September 20-22nd 2024. www.gbgqueerlindy.com
We want to create a festival to celebrate and acknowledge the queer expressions of swing dancing.
This festival is mainly a space for queer dancers and allies. If you’re not African-American remember you are a guest in the swing dance community that is part of their culture. If you are Cis and hetero remember that you are a guest in the queer space we are creating together. Guests are equally welcome as queers and African-Americans 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

BANDS
Cat's & Dinosaurs (Sweden)
is a swing collective from Gothenburg, and three of their members were also part of creating the first Queer Lindy Festival in 2017! They honor the jazz pioneers, not by copying them note for note, but by embracing their energy and radical attitude. In this attitude they perform their original songs with feminist and left wing political lyrics. And being lindy hop dancers themselves, they know exactly what kind of groove the dancers need!
Pansy Craze Jazz Band (Åland and Sweden)
Welcome to a celebration of early New Orleans style dance music, with songs and inspiration from queer pioneers such as Gladys Bentley, Bessie Smith and Tony Jackson! The musicians of Pansy Craze Jazz Band have gathered from no less than three Nordic cities; Mariehamn, Stockholm and Gothenburg, to cherish the African American music and the community that Gothenburg Queer Lindy Festival is a proud part of. Join the parade!
