Seinabo Sey concerts 2026: all dates and cities

You might not place the name right away, but "Younger" - the song in that Kygo remix that sat at number one in Norway for seven weeks straight and crossed over onto the American dance chart - you know that one. That's her. And now it's time to talk about Seinabo Sey concerts again, because in March 2026 an album arrived that turns things upside down: for the first time she sings exclusively in Swedish. The finest detail goes back even further. When her mother, a few years ago, dug out a twenty-year-old letter written by a nine-year-old Seinabo, the entire life plan was there in black and white.

In the letter she wanted to be three things: a singer, live in Hollywood and own a horse. The singer she became, without question. The Hollywood villa and the horse remain open items for now. Anyone who wants to see where the dream landed has plenty of opportunities throughout the year, as the tour stretches from a summer evening at Liseberg to a handful of concert hall shows deep into autumn. Below we have gathered everything you need to know: all dates, all cities, the background and where tickets are actually sold.

Seinabo Sey concerts 2026: dates, cities and venues

The tour opens outdoors in June and then moves into a more intimate concert hall format during autumn. Here are the confirmed shows with venue and city.

It is worth noting that the split is no coincidence. The summer stops are the big, broad open-air shows, while the autumn dates belong to a longer concert hall tour where she builds the evening around the new Swedish material. That says something about where Seinabo Sey feels at home: just as happy in front of thousands on a festival stage as in a hall where the voice can work without competing with the crowd.

The new album Välkommen hem and the language switch

The tour is built around the fourth album, which for the first time is entirely in Swedish. It is not a marketing trick, but a way of getting closer to what she actually wants to say.

According to promoter Luger, "Välkommen hem" was released on 13 March 2026 and is described as her most personal and poetic record to date. It is a short, concentrated album: eleven tracks in just under half an hour. Through singles such as "Hitta någon", "Slott av luft", "Gudarna", "Crazy" and "Yasins bön" the world of the album has taken shape, and the language choice that some have seen as a risk is for her more of a deepening - a way of working through words in her own everyday language.

She has said herself that after many years on tour she now has more music than ever, and that she looks forward to weaving her catalogue together with the new Swedish material. In practice that means anyone attending the autumn concerts gets both the new songs and the older cornerstones in the same evening. Finding her way back to herself is tied to a more personal turning point. She has described having love and therapy to thank for feeling freer to explore things, both as a person and as an artist.

The road here: from Halmstad to the Nobel Concert

Behind the sold-out halls lies a childhood split between several countries and a breakthrough that came faster than she could take in. It is worth a moment of background before the ticket is bought.

Seinabo Sey was born in 1990 in Södermalm, Stockholm, to a Swedish mother, Madeleine Sundqvist, and a Gambian father, Maudo Sey, who was a well-known musician in Gambia and Senegal. At the age of eight the family moved to Halmstad, where she joined a music class, and in her teens she returned to Stockholm for the soul programme at Fryshuset's upper secondary school. Before her own name took over she toured with, among others, Oskar Linnros and Maskinen and provided guest vocals for hip-hop artists such as Stor and Linda Pira.

The reason her voice sounds the way it does has a prehistory that stretches far beyond Sweden. When her father passed away in 2013, the same year "Younger" was released, the grief left its mark directly in the music. She named her first two EPs after her parents: For Madeleine after her mother and For Maudo after her father.

Once things took off, they moved fast. Norwegian producer Kygo made his remix of "Younger" that opened doors internationally, and the debut album "Pretend" from 2015 was named by American TIME as one of the best debut albums of the year. She performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in 2014 and appeared on Conan O'Brien in the US. Since then she has refused to repeat herself: "I'm a Dream" from 2018 deepened her expression, and the third album "The One After Me" from 2023 was named Best Soul/RnB at the Grammis Awards in 2024. In autumn 2024 she also took part in the fifteenth season of TV4's "Så mycket bättre", giving a new audience the chance to discover her catalogue. She is today regarded as one of Sweden's most award-winning soul artists.

Dalhalla, Spira and the other venues

Two of the summer stops stand out for not being ordinary club concerts: a shared evening in an old limestone quarry and two daytime concerts in Jönköping.

On 28 August she meets José González at Dalhalla in Rättvik, the amphitheatre in a disused limestone quarry known for its unusual acoustics. Pairing Seinabo Sey's soul with González's stripped-back guitar playing in that setting is one of the summer's more unusual combinations, and these are two artists who both carry an evening with voice and instrument at the centre rather than big light shows. In Jönköping she plays at Spira in a more daytime format, both as a lunch concert on 21 August and as a Sunday concert on 30 August.

The rest of the tour moves between different sizes and spaces. Liseberg is the broad outdoor stage in the middle of summer, Förbindelsehallen in Stockholm a shared evening with Amanda Bergman and Sunnan, while Mejeriet in Lund and Lokomotivet in Eskilstuna are the more club-like rooms where the audience gets close to the stage. Her voice is often described as one of the country's most distinctive instruments - a deep and grainy contralto that holds both gravitas and fragility - and in the smaller halls that closeness is exactly what you are paying for.

What to expect live and practical tips

Expect an evening that moves between the new Swedish material and the English-language cornerstones, performed with a band. The most important practical point is that tickets are sold through different systems depending on the date, so check the right channel directly.

The setlist will likely weave together songs from "Välkommen hem" with earlier favourites such as "Younger" and "Hard Time", just as she herself has hinted when talking about binding the catalogue together with the new album. Since the record is short and the catalogue has grown substantial over time, it is a repertoire with plenty of room to breathe. The venues differ considerably: the concert hall format at Spira and Västerås Kongress is a different pace from Liseberg's outdoor stage or the club evenings at Mejeriet and Lokomotivet, so adjust both your outfit and your expectations to whichever stop you choose.

When it comes to tickets, it is good to know that they are not gathered in one single place. Liseberg sells through its own ticketing system, the Stockholm evening goes via Ticketmaster, and most of the autumn dates - including Dalhalla, Lund, Västerås and Eskilstuna - are handled via Tickster. Click on each concert in the list above and you will be taken to the right sales page. Since her concerts have often sold out over the years, it is wise to act early.

Frequently asked questions about Seinabo Sey concerts

When and where does the tour start?

The first stop is Liseberg in Gothenburg on 27 June, followed by Förbindelsehallen in Stockholm on 2 July. She then continues through August and October with concerts in, among other places, Jönköping, Rättvik, Lund, Västerås and Eskilstuna.

Does she sing in Swedish or English now?

Both, live. The new album "Välkommen hem" is her first entirely in Swedish, but on stage she weaves the new material together with earlier songs, many of which are in English. So you get both the newly written tracks and the old favourites in the same evening.

Who is she playing with at Dalhalla?

On 28 August she shares the evening with José González at Dalhalla in Rättvik. It is one of the summer's more unusual pairings, where her soul meets his stripped-back guitar playing in the quarry's special amphitheatre.

Are the concerts suitable for someone who doesn't know her songs?

Yes, they are. Most people recognise more than they think, not least the breakthrough "Younger" which reached far beyond Sweden's borders. Both the festival stages and the smaller halls work well for anyone who wants to discover her voice for the first time.

Where do I buy tickets?

It depends on the date. Liseberg has its own ticketing system, the Stockholm concert is sold via Ticketmaster and several of the autumn dates go via Tickster. The easiest approach is to click on each concert in the list above, which will take you to the right sales page.
