In the mood for a spontaneous pop-up gig in the capital this weekend? The Local's readers are in with a chance to win two tickets to this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Sofar Sounds organizes secret concerts all over the world in non-disclosed locations and often in people's homes. While still fairly new in Stockholm, their pop-up gigs have gained a loyal following in London, Tokyo and New York. Hozier, Thomas Stenström and Beatrice Eli are examples of former acts at the event.

The live music gig is set to take place on February 28th from 6.30pm-9pm. Where? That's still a surprise, but it's rumoured to be close to Odenplan.

And as a special offer run in conjunction with events company Spontano, one lucky The Local reader will win two tickets to this highly exclusive event. All you have to do is enter the code “TheLocalSofar” in the rewards section of Spontano's iOS or Android app. Everyone who enters will be granted 50 kronor credit to use for any upcoming event booked via Spontano. The lucky winner will be notified via email on Friday night.

If you want to get inspired this week, make a note in your diary of Sweden's biggest documentary festival, Tempo, which is set to take place from 2nd to 8th March.

A massive 120 creative documentaries from all over the world will be showing at various locations around Södermalm and Kärrtorp in Stockholm, during seven days jam packed with seminars, photo, exhibitions, competitions, cocktails and parties. And to make it even better, all of the international films will be shown in either English or with English subtitles, and so will most of the Swedish films.

The 2015 Gothenburg Horse Show takes place over five days this weekend, from 25th February to 1st March. A plethora of disciplines and shows are on offer at this annual competition that attracts fans and competitors from all over the world. Since it first started in the spring of 1977, 2.5 million visitors have seen the great stars competing in dressage as well as showjumping in this beautiful city in western Sweden.

Heavy metal fans could do well to make their way north for the House of Metal festival in Umeå. The two-day indoor festival (because it's still cold in Umeå this time of the year) will be held from the February 27th to 28th at Umeå Folkets Hus and will feature bands with names like “Revolverdog”, “Rotten Sound”, “Helldorado” and “Apocalypse Orchestra”. Tickets are between 270 kronor and 666 kronor and there's a minimum age of 13.

Finally, our pick of this week's exhibitions is in Malmö, where the southern Swedish city's almost 50,000 foreign-born women are being celebrated. The exhibition entitled 'Women making history' maps out 100 years of the lives of women who have come to Malmö from all corners of the world.
