Every summer Tuesday’s favorite form of entertainment Allsång på Skansen was back for the Stockholm Pride week, pulling a big live crowd and TV viewership as usual.
The hostess with the mostest, Pernilla Wahlgren once again brought a litany of Swedish artists on stage to sing their latest tunes and sing along with the live audience. The week’s stars included heartthrob Viktor Leksell, jazz singer Emmalisa Hallander, schlager veteran Magnus Carlsson, the ultimate schlager diva Charlotte Perelli and more.
Below you can find some of our favorite photos of the evening from photographer Jytte Lindberg.
Magnus Carlsson kicked off the show with his song Kom hem, which he had the audience singing along to.
Two of Sweden’s bigger hip hop stars Adaam and Greekazo performed their duet Ela Ela.
As the hip hop beats were spiced up with more latin vibes, they also brought the dancers along.
An absolute star of the Swedish jazz scene, Emmalisa Hallander made her Allsång debut and performed At the End of the Tunnel.
Emmalisa also led the audience in a sing-along to a Lill-Babs classic: Gröna granna sköna sanna sommar.
All the girls’ favorite Viktor Leksell sang his song Lys på mig, and the front-row girls were pretty much shouting along, not to mention the whole audience clapping to the beat.
Kim Sulocki came on as Dennis, who obviously plays tennis. He also got the audience singing to Eviva España.
Charlotte Perrelli demonstrated her truly impressive set of pipes singing medley of her hit songs.
The audience got to join along for Charlotte’s Eurovision winner Take Me to Your Heaven aka Tusen och en natt.
Gothenburg’s golden boy Viktor Leksell returned to do a sing-along of fellow Gothenburgian Håkan Hellström‘s Känn ingen sorg för mig Göteborg.
By popular demand (or was it by her own request?), Pernilla Wahlgren performed her Melodifestivalen classic Piccadilly Circus dressed in an updated version of her 80s leather jacket and studs.
The victory in that 1985 Melodifestivalen went to Kicki Danielsson with Bra vibrationer, so of course they brought her to stage to perform it for a proper schlager sing-along to wrap up the evening.
