This summer, Per Persson & Nya Packet are touring together with Jakob Hellman. The song "A Thousand Days from Here", featuring Hellman, became a hit when it was released on Persson's Pack album "Real Hearts" in the early 1990s.

However, after that, it was relatively quiet from Jakob Hellman, who had only released the album "...and the Big Ocean" in 1989. He only made a handful of performances before his comeback in 2020.

When Jakob Hellman participated in "So Much Better", Plura interpreted "A Thousand Days from Here", with Per Persson as a guest. Now this year, Persson himself has participated in the program, and the idea arose "Isn't it high time to give the audience what they've always dreamed of?", he says in a press release.

"A joint tour felt self-evident, and in the summer of 2025, the dream becomes a reality", Hellman and Persson announce.

The tour starts in Bollnäs on July 5, continues to Borgholm on July 10, Vitaby on July 11, and Tänndalen on July 19, but more dates will be added.
