The 22nd P3 Gold Gala will take place in front of an audience at Cirkus in Stockholm on January 22, 2025. It will also be broadcast on the radio.

Two years ago, Christopher Garplind participated with a humorous look back at P3 Gold's history, which led his radio colleague Hanna Hellquist to predict that he would soon be leading the gala.

Always Drama

Last year, the program leading duo handed out a prize, but now it's time for Christopher Garplind to step forward and lead the entire gala.

I think she's fine with it being me and not her. There's no drama between us. Hanna Hellquist is too big for Cirkus. Besides, she has stage fright.

In his summary of the gala's history, he noted two years ago that the only recurring point in an otherwise changing concept is that there's always drama.

I really hope it happens this year too. Drama in a gala context is always fun, in private life "not so much", thank you.

Looked Like Trump

Last year, P3 Gold was moved from Gothenburg to TV House in Stockholm with short notice due to economic reasons and was broadcast not only on the radio but also on SVT Play. This year's P3 Gold will not be broadcast on TV. The focus is on radio and social media.

I still want TV makeup because it's so cozy to get made up.

When he participated in 2023, he was noticed for his orange foundation.

The makeup person who did the job had to leave on the day...

Bullshit. But I looked really bad. The P3 people were happy for the clip of me went viral and it wasn't because I was particularly funny, but because I looked like Donald Trump.

Age: 36.

Lives in Stockholm.

Born in Norway but grew up in Berg outside Linköping. Has four younger siblings.

Has worked, among other things, at Nöjesguiden and with Filip and Fredrik's "Breaking news" and "All against all".

Program host for "Cyklopernas land" on SVT and for "Eftermiddag i P3" together with Hanna Hellquist.

Of the eight categories in P3 Gold, he feels a little extra for "Album of the Year".

"I love when there's a red thread, a theme, and a whole in place of a separate track."

But he doesn't buy any albums on vinyl.

"Fuck no, I stream all my music."
