En hyllning till Björn Afzelius – 80 år
In spring 2027, Björn Afzelius would have turned 80. To mark the occasion, a major tour brings together some of the people who were closest to Björn and his music, celebrating the legacy of one of Sweden’s most beloved and influential singer-songwriters. It will be an evening filled with Björn’s greatest songs, powerful stories and music that moves and brings people together - perhaps more than ever before. Age limit: All ages welcome! Doors to the salon: 7:10 PM | On stage: 7:30 PM Duration: 120 minutes, including an interval The Marble Foyer and Bistro open from: 6:30 PM Promoter: Guppy Entertainment Through Björn’s timeless songs and the personal stories behind them, audiences will get an intimate look at his remarkable musical legacy. The songs will be performed by acclaimed musicians, friends and former colleagues who carry with them the experience, love and deep respect for his artistic legacy. On stage are bandleader Bernt Andersson, together with Göran “Guran” Blomgren, Stefan Sundberg and Mikael Krönlein. Guran and Bernt themselves toured with Björn during his career. Bernt, Stefan and Mikael were also members of the Varieté Orchestra, performing more than 1,200 times alongside and behind comedian and performer Carl-Einar Häckner. You’ll hear the great songs, but also the stories from behind the scenes - memories, moments and anecdotes that have rarely, if ever, been shared before. This is more than a concert. It is a journey through a lifetime of music and a tribute to an artist who gave voice to love, anger, solidarity and the longing for freedom. “Playing Björn’s songs again feels like opening the door to something that is still alive. His music hasn’t grown older - it has simply become even more important.” — Göran “Guran” Blomgren “Björn had a rare ability to reach people on a deeply personal level. To honour him alongside musicians who were actually there, and with an audience that still carries these songs with them, feels both incredibly special and deeply personal.” — Bernt Andersson
