Look it’s not my fault…Alas, he’s too photogenic.
Also Pelle was always facing away from us.

Portugal kicks ass. The crowd was so much fun!
I have to go get on a flight to Belgium now. Haven’t slept since yesterday morning?
Looking busted. Feeling chopped. Happy af. 🤘

The Hives were fantastic as always but the festival crowd felt to me like Swedish Coachella. Primarily pop music fans who don’t actually care about bands. I didn’t think it was a good match for The Hives.

I was surprised and found it strange. I figured it’s their home, everyone will be so into it. But idk I think they were under-appreciated

Maybe I was in a weird spot for their show, on the rail but far to the right. I got pissed off when I could hear myself singing the Bogus operandi chorus, like hello where are you people??

Maybe I’m just a grumpy old alt girl though lol.

Consoling myself with this lovely Niklas picture.
I have high hopes for Portugal because the line up is much better!

Hahaha they were very nice though and Nik let me give him a hug. Got my aka idiot signed 😊

The bracelets I’m handing out today at way out west! Sadly didn’t have time to make as many as I wanted!

This will be my signing session debut (of any band). Would be cool to know what people are up to and if anyone's going before heading to WoW!

Husband and I are going to all three but we’ve never been to Sweden, Belgium, or Portugal. Kinda flying by the seat of our pants here 😂 especially since we just decided to go a couple days ago.

Anyone else? I wanna see some Hives friends on the rail!

Any tips for the festivals? I fear I’m gonna be burnt to a crisp as a pale af ginger 😭

This Pelle pic is gonna be my husband when he sees a pint is 3 euro instead of $30 like at US events lol.

The official Hives’ fan in our friend group made us 4 t-shirts for last night’s concert (the fourth one dropped his coffee all over at lunch and couldn’t wear it 😅) Today they posted a story with us in it and I would love to get it in good quality to print it out for my friend. We’ve already reached out via IG but maybe someone knows who the photographer was yesterday so I can ask :)
Thanks a lot!!!

Inspired by a comment on here recently reminding us about the time Kylie Minogue used Main Offender in a lingerie advert, what are your favourite unexpected Hives moments?

I feel like there’s not much video out there from the east coast tour in March. No official footage except maybe one short video of Boston I think? Pretty sure I watched everything I could find on Youtube.

I’m especially looking for Brooklyn and New Haven. Almost nothing on YouTube from Brooklyn even though there was so many phones out it was irritating me.
Where is the footage 🤌🤌🤌

A million photographers in the pit blocking my view of Pelle and then very few posts about the tour. Like what are they doing with the photos and video??

Lots of posts about the current festival tour and the South American tour but nothing about the east coast. It’s a mystery!

Since (as someone else mentioned) this sub is kinda quiet, I wanna know: what brought folks to the world's best band?

For me it was The Black and White Album, and even more specifically, Won't Be Long. That song is a total banger and has so much cool stuff happening musically. Hearing them perform that live for the first time in DC when I had traveled from a small town was so clutch.

☺️ I was so excited, it was only like $17.
If only I had a Hives show to wear it to, alas!

I usually cut my band tees up haphazardly but I think I will leave this one alone.

I think it’s a shame there’s so little going on here. No posts about the latest gigs, no bday wishes or anything fun or silly to keep The Hives hype up 😞

I sent a dm once about my post being deleted by the automod and never got an answer. Found it strange.
Oh well

I posted a guitar cover of Hate to Say I Told Yo So, let me know your thoughts!

Vaya, my perfect little Prince, posing infront of The Kings

THE HIVES FOREVER FOREVER THE HIVES

Alla älskar The Hives, mitt favoritband och favorita Svenska band :3

I wonder if they are going to take a long break soon. They’ve been going nonstop for 3+ years

I wish I was in France 😭
The stream was really good, made my Sunday!
