Sweden’s most beloved summer tradition Allsång på Skansen brought it’s fourth programme of the season this week, and the stage was set for a varied cast of characters, appealing to a broad multi-generational audience as per usual.
Hostess Pernilla Wahlgren welcomed artists like Peg Parnevik, Greczula, Medina, Simon Superti and Staffan Hellstrand. They performed their latest offerings live, and joined in on the communal sing-along with the audience both on site and in front of the TVs at home.
And as you will know by now: when Allsången is on, our very own Jytte Lindberg is there with her camera, so here’s a pick of our favorite photos captured by her from yet another lovely summer evening at the Solliden stage.
The show kicked off with Medina mingling with the audience to the singalong tune Ooa hela natten.
Sahara Hotnights brought some grrrl rock power to the stage with their song Visit to Vienna, dating back almost 20 years to 2007.
Pop star extraordinaire Peg Parnevik performed her take on Tuff brud, which interpolateson the Lill-Babs classic Tuff brud i lyxförpackning in a more modern way.
Where are all the tough chicks tonight, Peg asked… and of course she’s looking at you!
Peg also brought on stage her sisters and friends, including Isa aka Bladë.
King Carl XVI Gustaf received a tribute to celebrate him turning 80 earlier this year. The number included Lia Larsson and Emil Henrohn, among others.
Greczula also sang with the King, suitably covering Magnus Uggla‘s Kung i baren.
Simon Superti took to the stage to perform his new song Rakt i kaklet.
Greczula put on a show with his Melodifestivalen hit from this year, Half of Me and got the audience clapping and singing along.
Staffan Hellstrand sang his absolute classic Lilla fågel blå, which won him the Song of the Year Grammis back in 1993.
Sami and Ali of Medina ended the live broadcast with Viva l’Amor, which took them to the final of this year’s Melodifestivalen.
