Summer has arrived in Europe and feelings of relaxation and happiness have begun to become more intense everywhere. That’s also the case in Sweden, with the beloved annual summer music event Allsång på Skansen (Sing along at Skansen) ready to open its curtains and promising to make the summer of its people even more pleasant.
As with every year, the shows will be taking place every Tuesday. With a total of 8 gigs taking place from 26 June to 14 August, the Swedish national broadcaster SVT is all set to present one more spectacular event, with a number of remarkable Swedish and not only artists joining it.
The shows will be airing on SVT1 and SVT Play.
Sanna Nielsen again on hosting duties
Hosting the shows will be – for the 3rd time in a row – the 2014 Swedish Eurovision entrant Sanna Nielsen, who says very happy and ready for yet another music journey. During the eight shows, she will be accompanied by musicians, comedians and other artists.
Here are the host’s statements:
It’s finally time to get on the beautiful Solliden stage and welcome everyone to the program that has become a part of me and I’m so proud to host. For one more season, we will be singing together and I’m so curious about all our nice guests coming to us this year.
Who will be there?
Earlier today, SVT announced the sets of artists which are going to perform on each of the 8 gigs, set to take place in Stockholm. To our great pleasure, we can easily meet several former Melodifestivalen entrants which we hope to see soon again in the Swedish national competition and of course on the Eurovision stage!
