Valter Nilsson is the artist who, within a few months, climbed from club gig to selling out 12,000 tickets to this summer's gig at Bananpiren in lightning speed. Now it is clear that the Gothenburg phenomenon's highly anticipated album "Högsbo Riviera", where he refines his soul rock'n'roll filled with everyday stories and social pathos, will be released on March 27, 2026 - and from which we have just received a taste in the form of the reality-based sing-along favorite "Lukas, Dennis & farsan". There is no doubt that more and more people want to be part of the community that Valter Nilsson and Stigberget invite to. Most recently proven by the fact that it took only a couple of days to sell all 12,000 tickets to the Bananpiren gig in Gothenburg on August 8th and before that the lightning-fast sold-out triple concerts at Nefertiti in November (where GP exclaimed in a 5 out of 5 review: "Sell your children for a ticket") and Pustervik this spring. Add growing audiences around the country (including a sold-out gig at Fasching in Stockholm in November), a successful performance at Musikhjälpen last winter, a win in the Nöjesguiden Gothenburg Prize and it is increasingly clear that the last has hardly been said about Valter Nilsson. An assumption that is reinforced by the new album "Högsbo Riviera", where he and faithful gunner Johan Weber refine their craft and expand the soundscape with significant elements of wind and strings. Overall, a rare creation that is filled with both self-confidence and humility, which is at the same time triumphant and a little painful. Valter Nilsson debuted in Swedish with the album "Bland de gyllene och de allmänt brända" in the spring of 2025. On October 16, Carl-Johan Vallgren is releasing both the album *Kaddish* and the novel *Kärleken*---twin works exploring loss, love, and life following his wife's passing, featuring flashbacks to the past. Produced by Johan Lindström, *Kaddish* is Vallgren's first album in 16 years. "In a way, the album might be the soundtrack to the book, but it could also be the exact opposite---that the novel is the explanation for the album," says Vallgren. Vallgren originally planned to write a sequel to his acclaimed novel *Din tid kommer*. When the creative spark for that project failed to materialize, he picked up his guitar instead---for the first time in many years. The melodies came quickly, and soon the idea for a novel on the same theme began to take shape. The two works subsequently developed in parallel. "I started writing because I had no choice. I had to make sense of what actually happened in order to move forward with my life. The album and the book are also a farewell, a declaration of love, and---not least---a celebration of life." In the autumn of 2026, Carl-Johan Vallgren and his musicians will embark on a nationwide tour of Sweden. Opening act: Året Var
