Crisis for Gothenburg music scene - may be forced to close

The music scene at Järntorget in Gothenburg is now asking its guests for support and trying to find new collaborations to survive.

Pustervik's CEO Daniel Levin tells Göteborgs-Posten that they can run the business for one, maximum two more years:

We either need to wind down under controlled conditions or find more people who want to join.

Pustervik has a turnover of around 60 million a year and sells around 80,000 concert tickets each year. But high costs for venue rent, electricity, water and garbage collection mean the finances are not sustainable.

Pustervik has existed in its current form since 2012.
