About

The Ark is a Swedish glam rock band formed in 1991 in Rottne outside Växjö, led by vocalist and songwriter Ola Salo. Their 2000 debut album We Are the Ark and the single 'It Takes a Fool to Remain Sane' made them one of Scandinavia's biggest rock acts, earning multiple Swedish Grammis awards. After five studio albums and a farewell tour, the band split in 2011 - then reunited in 2022 to play for 150,000 fans, with new music following in the years since.
