Stampen
Music Venue
One of the most famous venues in the city, Stampen has been a jazz pub since 1968 but still contains the antique items left behind when the venue was a pawnshop in the 19th century. Located in the heart of picturesque Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town, Stampen specialises in what it calls “American roots music”, which includes jazz, blues and R&B. If you’re an old-school blues fan, check out Stampen’s Saturday jams, starting from 2pm and finishing up around 7pm, with the chance of jumping to the stage and jamming along. The live-music program (Tuesday-Saturday) is regularly updated. Definitely bucket-list material for a live-jazz enthusiast in Stockholm – musicians who’ve played here in the past include Teddy Wilson, Dizzy Gillespie and Eartha Kitt.
