Alesso to return to Sweden for first hometown show in a decade

Alesso returns to Stockholm for his first Swedish show in 10 years, turning a hometown comeback into a one-night-only dance music milestone.

The ongoing rave scene heads up north to Sweden, as Alesso announces a career-defining homecoming show in Stockholm. After a decade away from performing in his home country, the global dance icon has confirmed a one-night-only set at Solliden Stockholm on June 27th, marking his first Swedish show in a decade, and the excitement is already building.

The historic return promises more than just nostalgia. Alesso views this night as a celebration of the past, present, and future. He will revisit the city where his journey began, along with Avicii and Swedish House Mafia. All while showcasing the evolved sound that brought him onto numerous Billboard charts, and landing himself on the world’s biggest stages. Stockholm is not just getting a concert; it is getting a victory lap. 

In recent years, Alesso has continued to change the landscape of dance music. He launched his own label, BodyHi, showcasing other talent with the same style of production, and using the same name for his alter ego for a deeper house set, and gained praise that extends beyond the club scene. Aside from being the first international artist to have two Billboard Dance Radio No. 1 hits in consecutive weeks with “Heroes” and his rework of “If I Lose Myself”, his shows are definitely worth living to experience.

His recent stint of releases has included collaborations like “Surrender” with Becky Hill, “Inside Our Hearts” with Martin Garrix, and the fresh release “Destiny” alongside SACHA. Festival appearances have followed suit, with standout moments at Coachella with BodyHi back to back with Gorgon City at the Quasar, and Ultra Music Festival with Martin Garrix coming up, reminding everyone that he still owns the mainstage.

The Stockholm show has also arrived with momentum. Presale access has already opened, and fans have been lining up digitally to secure tickets before the general public even wakes up—hoping to snag a reasonably priced chance to experience the nostalgia. Patience, it seems, has not been part of the plan.

As Alesso has prepared to return home, the moment has felt bigger than a headline slot. It has felt like a reminder that no matter how global the career becomes, coming back to where it all started still hits the hardest—especially when the bass does too.
