Following one reported rape and several sexual assaults at this year's Bråvalla music festival, there will be no festival in 2018, the organisers said on Saturday.

One of Sweden's largest music festivals, Bråvalla has been arranged outside the eastern Swedish town Norrköping every summer for the past five years, and this Saturday, July 1st, is the final day of the 2017 edition.

But the popular festival will not return in 2018 due to concerns over several cases of sexual assault, the organizing company FKP Scorpio said in a press release on Saturday.

One person was reportedly raped during a Håkan Hellström concert. One case of sexual coercion has been reported, as well as several cases of sexual assault.

"Words cannot describe how incredibly sad we are about this, and we most seriously regret and condemn this. This is not f-ing okay. We do not accept this at our festival," a festival representative wrote.

Yet I’ll bet every election he votes for the most Islamo butt kissing politicians.

Europe is Finished and will be a 3rd World Country (wall to wall) by this time next year.

Such a pity that Europe did this to themselves.

Well, whatever..? There are plenty of other locations on the Globe, of where civilization is alive and well.

Stick a fork in Europe. Look how fast it fell! Sad.

This invasion by sharia is just amazing to watch. They are letting them take over. Just like Hitler did.

This makes me appreciate President Trump all the more.

CNN will never cover this. They wish this upon us all.

Western Europe anyway. I think the former Iron Curtain countries will survive. They're arming their citizens and kicking the trash out.

Swedish “men” can’t keep their women safe?

That’s sad. ... and pathetic.

I disagree , the people of Europe did not do it to themselves. Their leaders, politicians did it to them. It is happening here in the USA also. They are just a few years ahead of us. The politicians lead us into unjust wars and bad trade agreements,milk us dry and give our hard work away to bums,coddle dissidents and criminals, they leave borders open and selectively enforce laws while stripping us of the ability to defend ourselves, the propanga machine "news" machines facilitate it.

and I don not really see the people doing much to stop it here either, evryone is afraid to stand up lest they be chastized for crazy tweeting or get kicked off Facebook. If you dont believe the MSM "news" you will be labled a conspiracy theory nutcase .....so the pattern of political destruction repeats

And next year, they were hoping to use this festival to announce their comeback tour!

Why not have Bono show up? After all, he came to my country on Saturday to lecture to us about building walls and the like, so maybe he should go over there to do the same silly globalist act.

Thanks for spinning me off on a Gert Jonny deep dive.

I’ll never get that 30 min. back.

It seems we’ve protected them for too long.
Now it’s time to give up the Middle East and put soldiers on the ground to defend them. Just Switch gears.
Who needs to be defended more: 7th century obstinate believers in non- Nordic tribal beliefs, or Muslims, who are out to kill or tax all kuffirs?
