Arvingarna is a Swedish pop and dansband group formed in Partille, near Gothenburg, in 1989 by Casper Janebrink, Kim Carlsson, Tommy Carlsson and Lars "Lasseman" Larsson - all sons of musicians from the legendary bands Flamingokvintetten and Streaplers. Their breakthrough came in 1993 when they won Melodifestivalen with "Eloise" and went on to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest, finishing seventh. With seven Melodifestivalen appearances - more than any other act in the competition's history - four Grammis awards and over 20 albums, they remain one of Sweden's most enduring live acts.
Arvingarna announced a 16-show Christmas tour across 15 Swedish cities, "Klart det ska bli jul - igen!", opening on 19 November 2026 and closing in Gothenburg on 19 December.
Arvingarna performed a segment from "I Do" as part of the Melodifestivalen 2026 final interval act "Är du nöjd nu?".
The band's acclaimed stage show "Festen" had its Stockholm premiere at Rival on 22 January 2026, following sold-out runs in Gothenburg.
Arvingarna competed in Melodifestivalen 2025 with "Ring baby ring", finishing 5th in heat 5 in Jönköping on 1 March.
The band publicly confirmed they no longer consider themselves a dansband, describing their current focus as concerts and stage shows rather than dance venues.
