The Warning Electrifies Gröna Lund: A Night of Raw Talent and Musical Unity

On Friday evening, I found myself standing in front of one of the coolest trios I've seen perform on the Gröna Lund stage this year, in fierce competition with Dogstar the night before. Three gentlemen then, three ladies now. The stage setup was just as stripped back. No visual effects—once again, the music took center stage, and you could really feel it.

The Warning consists of three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico. All three sing. Daniela, the eldest, plays guitar. Middle sister Paulina is on drums, while the youngest, Alejandra, handles the bass. They're young—26, 24, and 22—but don't let their age fool you. They've been doing this for years, and they are exceptionally skilled musicians.

Once they kick off the show, nothing can stop them. You're drawn in immediately. The rhythm is infectious and relentless. Hard rock at its very best. They own the stage without apology. The audience knows the songs, and at times they even sing louder than the band, but it's child's play for The Warning to regain control. They visited Sweden and Sweden Rock for the first time last year, when only a handful of people knew who they were. Now, on their second visit to Sweden, they were greeted by a much larger crowd of devoted fans.

During the banter between songs, the sisters express their gratitude for being able to do what they love—traveling the world and playing their music. They're pleasantly surprised that it's still so bright around nine o'clock in the evening that they can actually make out the faces in the audience.

While some of the lyrical clarity is inevitably lost live compared to the studio recordings, they more than make up for it with sheer intensity and raw energy. The crowd raises their hands, claps, jumps, and headbangs to songs like "Hell You Call a Dream," "S!CK," and "Kerosene." Daniela asks if it's okay to play a few songs in Spanish as well, and during the concert they perform three: "Qué más quieres," "Ego," and the particularly meaningful "Martirio."

To the audience's delight, they also announce that their fifth studio album, Everything's Falling, will be released at the end of August. They close the evening with "Automatic Sun" and the promise: "We'll see you again."
