Skandinaviengalan 2027 brings together Christian music's biggest names for a classic gala evening in Göteborg.
Roland Utbult (born 1951, Öckerö) is a Swedish singer-songwriter and musician who, since his debut album in 1975, has shaped congregational singing and Christian life across Scandinavia. His band Tactus was central to his touring years, and songs such as "Til vår Gud" and "Då ska glädjen bryta fram" became staples of Swedish and Norwegian church music. He has collaborated with Oslo Gospel Choir, Andraé Crouch and Tomas Ledin, among others, and served as a Kristdemokraterna member of the Swedish Riksdag from 2010 until recently.
Roland Utbult's profile on Altinget was updated as of May 2025, listing him as a sitting Riksdag member (KD) and cultural policy spokesperson.
Utbult's Riksdag speech on cultural funding inspired a theatre production, 'Mecenatens återkomst', discussed on Sveriges Radio P1 Kultur.
Utbult performed concerts in Volda and Ålesund, Norway, together with FRI-koret in June 2024.
Utbult submitted parliamentary motions in the 2024/25 session on topics including cash payment rights and the situation of religious minorities in India.
