#STOFF2026 - The 17th edition of STOCKHOLM FRINGE FESTIVAL is done and dusted!
Five days of amazing: ART - BURLESQUE - CIRCUS - COMEDY - DANCE - DRAG - FILM - MUSIC - THEATRE - PANEL TALKS - PERFORMANCE - PUNK MUSIC - SITE SPECIFIC - SPOKEN WORD + ARTIST SPEED DATING - FRINGE AWARDS - WORKSHOPS & MUCH MORE!
188 artists from 29 cities in 20 countries brought over 60 projects across 14 genres and 16 locations in and around the beautiful City of Stockholm!
It just so happens that our festival launched on the same day as pre-voting for the Swedish general election! The program we’ve created asks you to be open-minded and inclusive, and to VOTE FRINGE! Our stages gave space to voices and notions that give some people nightmares. As they say, one person’s trash is someone else’s treasure! The Fringe is here to stay, and so are the amazing creatives that we elevate and celebrate!
Thank you also to our new festival partners! #STOFF2026 brought 4 festivals under the Fringe umbrella! Aside from the regular program of fringe artists selected from over 400 projects around the world, this year’s Fringe umbrella harboured:
Dialogakuten by Dramalabbet. A (ultra) new drama mini festival at Södergården featuring:
NewDawnFilms curated by Johan Hallström. 15 filmmakers showcase and talk about their screen work at Trädgården.
VAL - Performance Festival by Svalbard Company at Kulturpontonen. A FREE circus, performance and punk outdoor event
#STOFF2026: The 17th edition of Scandinavia’s oldest Fringe festival arrived with an explosive mix of artistic expressions, genres performed in traditional and non-conventional spaces by local and international talent! The festival kicked off with a VIP launch at The Node, hosted by Regina Lund, featuring some exciting artistic experiences and wraps up with the Fringe Awards on Sunday night at Bacchi Syre.
Like in previous years, our festival was part of the BALTIC NORDIC FRINGE NETWORK (BNFN), with many of our artists making their trip to Sweden as part of their Nordic Tour with subsequent pit stops at our sister festivals in Oslo and Gothenburg!
