THE HIVES: The Hives, the giants of Rock & Roll, are undoubtedly one of the world's greatest live bands. With their blend of punk, bravado, and absurd humor, the heroes from Fagersta have written some of the most recognizable indie rock hits of the past 20 years. Timeless songs like "Hate To Say I Told You So" and "Tick Tick Boom" have made audiences bounce all over the world. Next summer, they will bring this infectious energy to Arctic Monkeys' UK stadium tour followed by these special concerts in Gothenburg and Malmö. As their iconic frontman Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist would say, "Come On!"

MANDO DIAO: Led by Björn Dixgård, Mando Diao has undeniably made their mark on Swedish music since their debut on the Swedish rock scene in 2002. In 2020, the band released their acclaimed album "I Solnedgången," their first Swedish album in eight years. The album soared to the top of the charts and received unanimous praise from both critics and listeners. In spring 2022, the band performed in front of sold-out crowds throughout Sweden on their "I Solnedgången" tour. Mando Diao has always managed to avoid predictability, and their upcoming album will be released in three volumes, starting with the already released "Stop The Train – vol 1" and "Primal Call – vol 2". The band continues, as usual, to deliver energetic rock and roll with their latest singles "Frustration" and "Fire In The Hall," which are topping the radio charts in Europe.

THE SOUNDS: With a history spanning a quarter of a century, The Sounds remain one of Sweden's most prominent rock bands. Their sweeping and majestic indie rock breaks and stands out in all the right places, delivered by a tight-knit quintet that has stayed together since their first meeting. The band's success has been constant since their breakthrough with the album "Living in America" in 2002. Since then, they have continued to produce hit singles like "Tony The Beat," "Painted By Numbers," "Song With A Mission," "No One Sleeps When I'm Awake," and "Shake Shake Shake." With Maja Ivarsson as one of the country's absolute leading frontpersons, the band released their latest album, "Things We Do For Love," in 2020 and has since performed numerous shows and sold-out tours worldwide.
