Punk in Sweden

Punk rock and hardcore punk have created a punk subculture in Sweden since punk music became popular in the 1970s.[1][2] Punk came to Sweden in the spring of 1977; the event credited as the beginning of the punk movement in Sweden was a one-day festival lined up with Sex Pistols, The Clash, Ramones, and Television.[3]
