Bruce Springsteen fever has arrived in Stockholm. At the central station, fans are arriving for tonight's concert. And outside Strawberry Arena in Solna, the queue is long.

At Stockholm's central station, the "Bruce Springsteen" train that departed from Gothenburg is arriving. Many fans are getting off. Music has been playing and quizzes have been held in the carriages. The subject is obvious – it's about "The Boss".

We're super excited. It's fantastic, says Tina Ceder.

She has been a fan since the 1980s. Exactly how many concerts it has been over the years, she doesn't know – but it's at least 10. Expectations for the evening are high.

We expect him to deliver as usual. It's going to be fantastic, says Tina Ceder.

For Peter Högberg, who also took the train, it's the 15th concert.

I have high expectations. It was so damn good last year. It'll be exciting to see what he has to deliver.

Make the most of it

Bruce Springsteen will soon be 75 years old, will he continue?

That's what you don't really know, you have to make the most of every opportunity, says Peter Hagberg and adds:

He still delivers.

Outside Strawberry Arena in Solna, the queue is long. Tonight, Bruce Springsteen will play for the 73rd time in Sweden. A total of 110,000 fans are expected to attend the two concerts.

Linnea Hülphers is here with her family. She is one of the younger fans.

I'm "born and raised" with Bruce Springsteen, she says.

Laughter, tears, dance

Now she's also a die-hard fan.

I listen to him all the time, when I clean and cook. Springsteen is the one you come back to.

What do you expect from tonight's concert?

Laughter, tears, and dance.

For Malin Hülphers, Linnea's mother, this is the sixth concert.

We've had fun every time. It's a party all the way, she says.
