- Fri 21 Aug
The Hives, consisting of Howlin’ Pelle, Chris Dangerous, The Johan And Only, Nicholaus Arson, and Vigilante Carlstroem, have, over thirty years, carved their name into the annals of rock history. Their exploits have seen them sell out grand stadiums and share the stage with such monumental acts as AC/DC and The Rolling Stones. The BBC declared them “a force of nature,” and Rolling Stone named their album Veni Vidi Vicious one of the Top 100 Albums of the decade. Furthermore, their anthem, ‘Hate To Say I Told You So’, earned a most honorable spot among Pitchfork’s Top 500 Songs of the 2000s. With millions of albums sold, and the recognition of Platinum-certifications and numerous awards - Grammys, MTV Awards, NME Awards - they stand as titans in the realm of music. According to the legendary Joe Strummer, it is The Hives who saved Rock ‘n’ Roll.
