– she enters the hearts of the audience in Arvika with light dance steps, her tongue licking her lips, her fl hair in a new cut storming around her head, making me think of an Icelandic horse, mane flying, the horse floating across the plains in a peculiar tölt gait.

Så förklarade bob hund obotliga synthare Jonas Jonasson varför Arvika är Sveriges bästa festival och visst har han i mångt myckt rätt även om hårdrockarna och de gamla kicksparkarna var de som fick se de riktigt stora namnen på Årets Arvika genom Mötorhead och Rollins Band.
Arvika har lyckats samla ihop ett brett spektra av bra sveneka artister men de där riktiga topparna på den internationella fronten saknas, men det är ju ett genomgående problem för årets festivalvärdar.
Annars finns alla ingredienser som gör Arvika till en av Sveriges absolut bästa festivaler på plats ni har redan läst en del av dem ovan, S.P.O.C.K. som husband (vad man nu än tycker om deras mikrofonani), avsaknad av de allra yngsta Hultsfredsbrudarna samt ett undebart bad vid Ingestrand med Morrissey på bandaren.
