No, there's no date yet for Lana del Rey's delayed album "Stove" - but everything indicates that it will arrive at the end of January.
Charli XCX will release her new album on February 13th, but those expecting a new “Brat” may be disappointed. “Wuthering Heights” is, as the title suggests, the soundtrack to Emerald Fennell’s film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic.
Super Bowl and Sweden
Bad Bunny is performing the halftime show at the Super Bowl this year - an event that is only for the biggest artists. Lucky for Swedish fans, he is also coming to the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm for two shows in July.
Anyone who is keen to experience one of Sweden's most hyped young bands before they really become big can see Nektar at Pustervik in Gothenburg on January 17. If you don't already have a ticket to the sold-out concert, there is the opportunity to see the Gothenburg band on Hurula's tour, with a premiere in Karlstad on January 23.
A number of megastars are also making stops in Sweden on their tours, including Pitbull, Foo Fighters and The Weeknd, who is bringing Playboi Carti to Strawberry Arena in August.
Raye and Sombra
British Raye, who had a worldwide hit with "Where is my husband" in 2025, will come to Avicii Arena on February 7th, and 20-year-old American rising star Sombr, with hit songs like "Back to friends" and "12 to 12", will play at Annexet in Stockholm on February 10th.
At the end of the summer, Way Out West offers a string of artists - many of them with an older fanbase. The Cure, Gorillaz, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and The XX are some of those playing at the festival in Gothenburg. But there is also a chance to catch the most acclaimed new stars in the rock world: Geese from New York.
