The Hultsfred Festival (Swedish: Hultsfredsfestivalen) was an annual music festival held in Hultsfred, Sweden. It took place at the lake Hulingen for three days in June or July, from Thursday to Saturday. Since the first festival in 1986, its attendance increased from 7,500 visitors to approximately 32,000 people in 2005. With its five different stages, the Hultsfred Festival hosted many bands each year (154 in 2007) from all over Scandinavia and the world alike.
Due to an increase in ticket pricing and what the public recognized as a poor lineup[citation needed] in 2007, festival attendance had been declining. The festival went bankrupt in 2010, and the whole event was cancelled that year, but it was resurrected in 2011.
FKP Scorpio, festival organizer since 2011, announced on 20 March 2013 that they would move the festival to Stockholm, Hultsfred goes Stockholm. On 14 April 2013 a new festival association, under the name This Is Hultsfred, announced their intention to organize a festival in Hultsfred 2013 on the traditional site. Scorpio also hosts the Bråvalla festival.
