Benjamin Ingrosso concerts autumn 2026: the full tour in Sweden

You have probably heard his voice before you connected it to a face. When Hiro speaks Swedish in Disney's Big Hero 6, it is Benjamin Ingrosso lending his voice. And as early as 2007, at the age of nine, he released the single "Jag är en astronaut" - the very same children's song his uncle Linus Wahlgren recorded in 1985, also nine years old at the time. Almost two decades later, seven Benjamin Ingrosso concerts are on the programme in autumn 2026, next up in Karlstad on 23 October.

This is no modest club tour. It is arenas, a hit catalogue that has passed one billion streams and a stage show that has grown through several sold-out European tours. The fact that Gothenburg already has three evenings booked says a great deal about the level of demand. Below you will find the dates city by city, the story behind them and what you need to know ahead of the ticket release.

Benjamin Ingrosso concerts 2026: all dates and cities

In short: seven shows between 23 October and 7 November 2026, starting in Karlstad and ending in Sundsvall. Gothenburg gets three full evenings.

The tour goes under the name WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? and takes Benjamin Ingrosso concerts across the country this autumn, from Värmland in the west to Norrland in the north. Here is the schedule:

The fact that an extra Gothenburg evening was added before the tour had even begun is a clear sign of demand. If you want an overview of the whole autumn you can also browse more shows in our concert overview.

From Lilla Melodifestivalen to Eurovision

In short: Ingrosso has been in the spotlight since childhood, but the big breakthrough came when he won Melodifestivalen in 2018.

The career started early and almost inevitably. He comes from one of Sweden's most well-known entertainment families, as the son of singer and actress Pernilla Wahlgren and former dancer Emilio Ingrosso, and as the grandchild of actors Hans Wahlgren and Christina Schollin. Bianca and Oliver Wahlgren Ingrosso are his siblings, and Sebastian Ingrosso of Swedish House Mafia is his cousin. He himself won Lilla Melodifestivalen 2006 with "Hej Sofia" and appeared on the theatre stage in several productions as a child, including in Nils Karlsson Pyssling.

As a teenager he made a detour via the TV sofa and the dance floor. He won Let's Dance 2014 together with professional dancer Sigrid Bernson, and returned to music under the artist name Benjamin Ingrosso in 2015. The big lift came on his second attempt at Melodifestivalen: he competed in both 2017 and 2018, won the latter year and went on to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 with "Dance You Off". In the final in Lisbon he finished seventh and received the maximum twelve points from the juries in eight countries. If you want to read more about the artist, we gather it all on his own artist page.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? and the album Pink Velvet Theatre

In short: the tour comes in the wake of the fifth album Pink Velvet Theatre, which went straight to the top of the Swedish chart.

Ingrosso is no one-time chart phenomenon. The fifth studio album Pink Velvet Theatre was released on 25 October 2024 and topped the Swedish album chart immediately upon release. The record is a concept album with fourteen tracks on Capitol Records, executive produced by Vincent Pontare and Salem Al Fakir, the names behind hits for artists including Avicii and Madonna. Among the tracks are "Kite", "Better Days", "Honey Boy", "Look Who's Laughing Now" and "All My Life", framed by a cinematic love story that Ingrosso himself has likened to a modern Romeo and Juliet.

In between he has managed to fit in major international collaborations. "Honey Boy" he made together with German artist Purple Disco Machine, and the track also features disco legend Nile Rodgers as well as Jamaican artist Shenseea. That says something about where Ingrosso's sound has landed: a contemporary dance-friendly pop with soul and disco at its core, often compared internationally to artists such as Bruno Mars and George Michael. The fact that the new tour is called WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? suggests he is already looking beyond Pink Velvet Theatre and towards the next chapter.

What to expect on stage

In short: a big arena production, a catalogue full of number-one singles and an artist who has grown up as much on screen as on stage.

Ingrosso has proven he can fill large venues. Pink Velvet Theatre followed a European tour that drew around 200,000 visitors, and the single "All My Life" he launched during a sold-out stadium evening in Stockholm. In summer 2024, according to promoter figures, around 175,000 people saw him live in Sweden alone, and in spring 2025 he took home the most awards of all nominees at both P3 Guld and the Grammi Awards. The impact is also visible in the numbers: of his five albums, three have reached number one in Sweden, and all five single releases during 2024 made it into the top ten, with "Kite" and "Look Who's Laughing Now" reaching number one.

The repertoire happily mixes English and Swedish. Dance floor hits like "Kite" and "Honey Boy" sit side by side with the Eurovision entry "Dance You Off", and the more intimate, Swedish-language moments. For many in the audience, Ingrosso is also a familiar face well beyond the music world. For several years he hosted his own TV series Benjamin's on TV4, where well-known Swedes cooked food, had dinner and played music together, and together with siblings Bianca and Oliver he has launched the food brand Mino with Italian products, a nod to the family's Italian roots.

Up next: Karlstad and Gothenburg

In short: the tour premiere takes place in Karlstad on 23 October, and the day after Scandinavium in Gothenburg awaits.

If you want to be there from the start, it is the premiere evening in Karlstad on 23 October that applies. The tour then continues to Gothenburg, where interest has been so great that an extra evening has been added on top of the regular show. That means two chances in western Sweden within the space of a day: the concert at Scandinavium on 24 October and the extra evening the day after.

If you live further south, Malmö Arena awaits on 30 October, the day after the double Gothenburg weekend. The tour then turns north again and concludes with Linköping on 31 October and Sandviken and Sundsvall at the beginning of November. For the Sundsvall audience on 7 November it will be the tour finale.

How to get tickets to Benjamin Ingrosso concerts

In short: all shows are sold via Ticketmaster, and given the level of demand it pays to be prepared ahead of the release.

All dates on the tour are sold through Ticketmaster, both via the artist page and the individual event pages. Here are a few things worth bearing in mind for this particular tour:

  • The fact that Gothenburg already required an extra evening before the tour had started shows how quickly things can move. If your first-choice date sells out, keep an eye out for whether more extra evenings are added in the same way.
  • The two Gothenburg evenings are on consecutive days. If 24 October is fully booked, the extra concert on 25 October may be your way in without having to change city.
  • Only buy through official retailers. Second-hand tickets from private sellers risk being invalid at the door.

On each event page with us you will find a direct link through to the official ticket sales for that particular date. If you are looking for even more live tips this autumn, our events calendar is a good starting point, and if you want to discover more names our full artist overview is there to browse.

Frequently asked questions about Benjamin Ingrosso concerts

When and where does the tour begin?

The tour begins in Karlstad on 23 October 2026 and then moves on to Gothenburg, Malmö, Linköping, Sandviken and Sundsvall. The last show takes place in Sundsvall on 7 November.

How many concerts are there?

There are seven shows in total during autumn 2026. Gothenburg alone accounts for three of them, as an extra evening has been added on top of the regular concert at Scandinavium.

Where do I buy tickets?

Tickets are sold via Ticketmaster. If you click through to the relevant event page with us, you will be linked to the official sales for the date you are interested in.

Which songs does he play live?

Expect material from the latest album Pink Velvet Theatre, including "Kite", "Honey Boy" and "Look Who's Laughing Now". This is usually mixed with older favourites, and the Eurovision entry "Dance You Off" is among the songs audiences are keen to hear.

Are Slowgold & Isak Benjamin the same artist?

No, that is an entirely different act. If you want to see the concert at Bryggan på Ringön in Gothenburg on 30 July 2026, that involves the artists Slowgold and Isak Benjamin, not Benjamin Ingrosso. The similarity in name is pure coincidence.
