Andreas Weise concerts autumn 2026: four Christmas evenings in the church setting

The surname Weise and the Swedish Christmas are intertwined in the memory of an entire generation. It was Arne Weise who sat on the TV sofa and lit the candle on Christmas Eve, and Andreas Weise is his son. Now it is the son who draws people to the pews: among this autumn's most sought-after Andreas Weise concerts are four evenings in November 2026, when he guests the Christmas series "I Juletid" in churches in Skåne and Småland. Here is a detail few people know: his polished stage persona rested partly on musical training already before Idol. The crooner was born long before the TV cameras found him.

That Weise is now associated with Christmas is no coincidence. He has made a name for himself in holiday music, and the four November evenings are not a solo performance but a guest appearance in an established concert series. We sort out where, when and how you get in, and why this particular voice suits a cold church room in November so well.

Andreas Weise concerts in "I Juletid" autumn 2026

In short: Andreas Weise is a guest in the Christmas concert series "I Juletid" on four occasions between 5 and 11 November 2026, all in churches in southern Sweden. These are guest appearances, not his own solo tour.

The series tours through four churches in just under a week. The first evening takes place on 5 November at Förslöv Kyrka in Förslöv, on the Bjäre Peninsula in north-western Skåne. The following day, 6 November, the company moves to Västra Karaby Kyrka in Dösjebro, a little further south in Skåne. On 7 November the journey crosses the county border to Urshults Kyrka in Urshult in southern Småland. The final evening, 11 November, sees the series return to Skåne and Fränninge Kyrka in Vollsjö.

Placing a Christmas concert in November may sound early, but that is exactly how the season works for artists like Weise: the Advent candle is lit long before Christmas Eve, and churches are popular venues. If you want to see any of these Andreas Weise concerts it is worth acting early, as church spaces often have a limited number of seats and tickets are sold per occasion.

Who is Andreas Weise?

In summary: Andreas Weise is a Swedish singer and entertainer who broke through in Idol 2010 and has since built a career on the border between swing, soul and pop, often described as a crooner.

Weise first became known to the public after his participation in TV4's Idol 2010, where he finished in fifth place. The road there was not straightforward. Already in the qualifying final he was hanging by a thread, and despite balancing on the edge of elimination a total of two times he still made it to fifth place and was voted out on 19 November 2010. What stuck with viewers was the style: suit, classic songs and an effortless stage presence. During Idol 2010 he became known as the programme's "entertainer" and stood out early with his way of dressing and his choice of classic songs.

The musical side was not a veneer. At around the age of six Weise began singing and was inspired early on by greats such as Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Sammy Davis Jr. and Donny Hathaway, and at ten he began writing poems that quickly turned into songwriting, even though he never attended any music school. That background is audible in his genre choices. Weise's music draws influences from soul, jazz and swing, he has been described as a crooner on several occasions, and he is a tenor. That label, crooner, is central to understanding why he suits a church room: the voice is built for long, sustained notes rather than arena pop.

After Idol came a string of TV programmes and record releases. In January 2011 he was one of the participants in Let's Dance, and during 2011 he signed a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment. The debut album was launched on 29 August 2012 with Figge Boström as producer and entered the Swedish album chart at number two in its first week. Later he took on larger formats: SVT announced in November 2014 that he would participate in Melodifestivalen 2015, where the entry "Bring Out The Fire" competed in the heat in Östersund, advanced to Andra chansen but lost the duel against Linus Svenning.

He has also stepped onto the theatre stage. On 3 September 2016 Andreas Weise made his musical theatre debut in the lead role of Charlie Price in the Broadway musical Kinky Boots at Malmö Opera. And awards have followed: in 2019 he won Stjärnornas stjärna. Those who want a comparison can note that many consider him Sweden's answer to Michael Bublé, which actually describes him quite well.

The shadow of a Christmas icon

In short: Andreas Weise is the son of Arne Weise, the man who was SVT's Christmas host more times than anyone else, and that connection has both opened doors and weighed on him.

Andreas Weise is the son of Arne Weise and Agneta Malmberg and grew up on Lidingö. His father is one of the most deeply imprinted figures in Swedish TV history. Arne Weise, who passed away in the autumn of 2019, is the Swedish TV personality who has been Christmas host on SVT the most times of all; he was given the assignment in 1980 and completed his final broadcast as Christmas host in 2002. For millions of Swedes his calm voice at three o'clock on Christmas Eve was the very starting signal for the celebrations.

Carrying that name has been a double-edged experience. Andreas has been known ever since he was born, because he is Arne Weise's son, and it was not until Idol 2010 that he himself took charge of his interest in singing. In interviews he has been unusually open about the price of that. It was not until he himself became a father that he gained perspective on his upbringing, where he was constantly seen as Arne Weise's son. When his father passed away, Andreas took on a symbolic assignment: in 2019 he joined Christmas host Marianne Mörck in the studio to honour his father, and told TT that he had been given an honorary assignment by SVT to in some way pay tribute to his dad. The son now filling churches with Christmas music is in that sense a circle coming full circle.

The Christmas music that became his signature

In summary: Weise has built a distinct profile around Christmas music, with original Christmas songs, a live album from Södra teatern and recurring autumn tours in the spirit of the season.

The Christmas track is no invention for the 2026 season. Already during Christmas 2014 Weise undertook the nationwide tour "Sinatra Christmas" together with Christer Sjögren and Gunhild Carling, and the trio visited 16 cities in Sweden. That same year came a Christmas EP: on 25 November 2014 "Christmas Dream" was released with four newly written Christmas songs, and the single of the same name became popular on Swedish radio. Writing original Christmas songs rather than simply singing standards is unusual and part of what has made him stand out in the December offering.

During the pandemic the image was cemented further. The live album Christmas Live at Södra Teatern was released in 2021 and captures his holiday performances at Södra teatern in Stockholm, with Christmas classics and original songs in a big band jazz style. That he has become especially beloved for his Christmas songs is today an established truth in Swedish entertainment. In parallel, his career has continued to develop. Following the success of the critically acclaimed album The Circle and over 80 million streams, he has continued his musical journey, now in Swedish. In 2025 the single "Dagar utan slut" was released, a first taste of the next chapter with new music in the autumn.

When he guests "I Juletid" it is therefore an artist with long experience of the format who steps in. Anyone who has bought a ticket to one of the November evenings gets a singer who has moved comfortably in Christmas music for over a decade.

What is "I Juletid" and what can you expect?

In short: "I Juletid" is a concert series in a church setting where Andreas Weise is an invited guest, and the church space sets the tone for an atmospheric Advent evening rather than a poppy arena show.

The church concert is a format with its own rules. The acoustics carry, the audience sits close, and the repertoire moves around the treasury of Christmas songs. For a crooner like Weise, whose strength lies in the long notes and the intimate presence, this is a rewarding environment. If you have seen him on TV and wonder what the voice sounds like live without studio production, a church concert is a good opportunity to hear it unveiled.

Practically speaking, each evening is its own arrangement with its own ticket, tied to the respective church and location. Bear in mind that churches rarely have numbered seats to the same extent as a theatre, and that it can be chilly, so dress accordingly. If you want to see the current occasions gathered in one place you will find them in our events calendar, and more similar evenings throughout the autumn in our overview of concerts.

How to buy tickets for Andreas Weise concerts

In summary: Tickets for the four "I Juletid" evenings are sold per occasion through the official ticket channels for each respective church, and it pays to book early.

Since the series is performed in four different churches in separate locations, the tickets are linked to each individual date. Choose the evening and the location that suits you and buy for that specific occasion. The four entry points on our site are the evening at Förslöv Kyrka on 5 November, Västra Karaby Kyrka in Dösjebro on 6 November, Urshults Kyrka on 7 November and Fränninge Kyrka in Vollsjö on 11 November. From there you reach the official ticket sales.

One tip: church venues hold considerably fewer visitors than a concert hall, so popular evenings can sell out quickly. Make up your mind in good time and keep an eye on whether there are additional performances on the same evening. Official ticket agents, which Weise himself refers to, are usually the way in. Buy tickets directly from official ticket agents via the links on the artist's pages.

More concerts and live experiences this autumn

In short: If you miss the Christmas evenings there are plenty of other live experiences in the calendar, from concert halls to intimate club nights.

If you enjoy singers in the more intimate format it may be worth keeping an eye on the concert halls. In Jönköping, Konsertsalen in Spira offers recurring programmes such as the series Lunchkonserter 26/27 and Söndagskonserter 26/27, good entry points for those who want to discover new voices without travelling far. If you would rather see another familiar face from the Swedish music and TV world, Andreas Lundstedt is performing at Idunteatern in Umeå on 30 October 2026.

And for the summer visitor who has already started planning next season there are evenings such as Andreas Möller live at Idöborg in the Nämdö archipelago. The full offering, sorted by date and location, can be found in our events calendar.

Is this his own solo tour or a comeback?

No, these are guest appearances. Andreas Weise is an invited guest in the concert series "I Juletid", not the headline act on his own tour. He has also been active throughout and released the new single "Dagar utan slut" as recently as 2025, so this is hardly a comeback.

Why is Andreas Weise so strongly associated with Christmas?

Partly because he has built a clear Christmas profile with original Christmas songs, the Christmas EP "Christmas Dream" from 2014, the "Sinatra Christmas" tour and the live album from Södra teatern. Partly because he is the son of Arne Weise, SVT's longest-serving Christmas host, so the name Weise has a natural place in many people's Christmas memories.

What kind of music does he sing?

Weise moves in swing, soul, jazz and pop and is often described as a crooner. He is a tenor and has developed his vocal style on his own, inspired by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Sammy Davis Jr. The comparison with Michael Bublé comes up frequently.

How do I buy tickets?

Tickets are sold per evening and per church through the official ticket agents. Choose the date and location that suits you and book early, as church spaces hold fewer visitors than a regular concert hall.
