The sun, it shone on Midsummer Eve and we became so incredibly happy. And you know what it means in Sweden: then we have nine weeks of rain to look forward to, said the host when she stepped up on the stage.

This year's first song for singing along became Roger Pontare's ”When the wind whispers my name” which was led by the artist Daniela Rathana. During the Tuesday evening, Zara Larsson, the Melodifestival winners KAJ and Medina also performed.

Wahlgren and the artists alternated singing and show numbers on the stage with pre-recorded humorous elements together with well-known faces like Petra Mede and Christina Schollin. But it was not just the season premiere, Allsång på Skansen also turns 90 years old, which was noted by artists like Dr Alban, E-type and Da Buzz playing popular songs from the 90s.
