The most devoted fans have been queuing for several days. Tonight is the time for Hov1's very last concert – at a muddy and rainy Gärdet in Stockholm.

Even if the weather has not been the best, it has been fun, says Freja Hynning who has been waiting since early morning to be let into the concert area.

Freja and her friends have written Hov1 on their faces and drawn the band's logo on their cheeks. They have been looking forward to the concert for a long time and got to know new people in the queue.

You get so much community with everyone, says Selma Bolin.

About 50,000 visitors are expected to Hov1's very last concert. In February, the group announced that they are ending their career with a farewell tour.

During the summer, they played among other things in Norway at the Slottsfjell festival, where Martin Kristoffersson and Julia Funner from Oslo and Trondheim saw them.

Now they have come to Stockholm to see their favorites one last time.

We know several from Norway who have traveled here. I have seen them twice before, says Martin Kristoffersson.

How big is Hov1 in Norway?

They are big, but not the biggest. They were still the headlining act at Slottsfjell. We listen a lot to Swedish music and Swedish rap, says Julia Funner.

William Ståhl has brought two friends to the concert who have never seen Hov1 before. He himself has been to two of their concerts before.

It feels like it's the last chance, it's a bit sad. But at the same time it feels okay, he says.

The friends are waiting to be let into the big field, wearing thin jackets, jeans and sneakers that sink into the mud.

Calle Örnebrand says that bad weather is part of the thing.

I probably enjoy the music more and look forward to a good concert, he says.
