Music like Scraps of Tape

SiESTA! was an annual music festival that took place in Hässleholm, Sweden, between 2003 to 2014. It was arranged for the first time in 2003 by the non-profit organization KF Markan.

KF Markan was founded in March 1989. Before the first Siesta! in 2003 the organization arranged another festival called Festival Blå until 2001 when the board decided to change the direction of the festival. 2002 was a gap year where KF Markan made up the plans for Siesta!

The festival took place in the outskirts of Hässleholm during three days in the first weekend of June between Thursday and Saturday. The number of people attending the festival grew from 1,000 to ten times that number in four years. The audience was mainly from Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The cornerstones of the festival was faith, hope and love.
