About
Swedish singer-songwriter Valter Nilsson plays Ideal Bar in Copenhagen on 7 November, presenting songs from his new soul-rock album Högsbo Riviera. The album came out in March and refines his sound with everyday stories, big choruses, and the addition of brass and strings. Swedish music magazine GAFFA gave it five stars.
About the concert
The evening is a concert at Ideal Bar, a venue in Copenhagen. Nilsson's earlier work includes the Swedish-language album Bland de gyllene och de allmänt brända, released in spring 2025, and three sold-out concerts at Nefertiti at the end of that year. Those shows suggest a following that has grown steadily, though this night is about the new record.
What to expect
- A quarter of an hour after doors open, the sound work Ofring til Midgårdsormen by Emil Nordhild Rønning is played on the venue's immersive sound system.
- The piece is loosely based on the Völuspá, a poem from Norse mythology, and is free with a concert ticket.
- The main set focuses on songs from Högsbo Riviera.
Arriving early is worth considering if you want to hear the opening sound piece from the start. Tickets and further details are available through the event page on vega.dk.
