In the book "Nation of Poets" journalist Mohamed Yussuf writes that Yasin had planned to launch his single "Hur som helst" as a trailer for an arena concert at Tele2 Arena on September 7, 2024.

It was stopped at the last minute, as the police could not guarantee safety and advised against holding the concert.

If there is a risk of serious disturbances, the police can stop events. Yasin has not played in Sweden for nine years, but is set to play at Brännbollsyran in Umeå, Alive festival in Borlänge, and Trädgården festival in Kristianstad this summer.

Dagens ETC writes that new attempts are being made to hold an arena concert with the artist, who was previously sentenced to prison for preparation for kidnapping and for serious weapons offenses. Recently, Yasin has distanced himself from his criminal past.
