The organizers have chosen artists with a connection to Örebro and Närke for today's memorial ceremony, which includes a national minute of silence at 12 o'clock.

We are pleased with the program. It is local and has a good breadth, says Jenny Blåder at Örebrokompaniet to Nerikes Allehanda.

Kläfford was born in Lindesberg, north of Örebro. After winning "Idol" in 2017, he has, among other things, competed in "America's Got Talent" in the USA, but also released his own music.

Among other artists performing today are Jasmine Kara and the rock group Smash Into Pieces, both of whom got their start in Örebro.

It feels very nice to be here. I must say that I see a lot of hope around me. It's as if there are tighter bonds and you see something very nice in this too, says Jasmine Kara to TT.

After the minute of silence, there will be speeches by Governor Lena Rådström Baastad and Municipal Council Chairman John Johansson (S).
