After a series of sold-out concerts both in Sweden and abroad, it's time for A Tribute to Dire Straits to hit the road again. In October 2026, an autumn tour awaits with hits at selected venues in northern and central Sweden, ready to be filled with timeless guitar loops, musical precision and that self-evident warmth that has become the band's signature.

A Tribute to Dire Straits

Vara Concert Hall

Saxophonist Christopher McBride is based in New York City. His work includes education, arranging and composition in addition to performance. He has been slowly but steadily turning heads with his ubiquitous work as an invaluable sideman since the mid-2000’s. Now Christopher is gaining respect amongst fans, critics, and his peers as one of the most versatile saxophonists in the world. His 2012 debut album Quatuor de Force certainly establishes his ability to front a group and write his own soulful, melodically indelible tunes. Applauded for his ability to play in all musical situations, McBride has the ability to unleash a fiery attack and serrated tone, but on his first album he explores a more measured, mellow sound heavily influenced by contemporary R&B—with a strong shot of Cannonball Adderley’s post-bop sensuality—but his improvising is very rigorous and cogent. As a composer, McBride was selected as the 2022 Make Jazz Fellowship artist at The 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica, California.

Minou and her father have accidentally run over a cat. Minou, 8 years old, begs and pleads – and the cat is allowed to come home with her. Even though dad hates cats, especially this one. The house is now filled with cat situations, cat-matics and the occasional misunderstanding. The cat is magical. And it seems to be there to support them. That's good, because even though Minou and dad want to get along, they can't reach an agreement.

A grand piano, three pianists and an unforgettable evening. 

As long as the grand piano has existed, there have been keyboard masters, piano lions and ivory artists. For this piano night, we put the grand piano at the center of three different pianists' expression, empathy and performance of exactly what is on their hearts and what they want to impress the other pianists with. The audience will experience that the same instrument both sounds and swings differently depending on which pianist sits behind the keys and opens up for the presence of music in the room.

Icelandic Anna Thorvaldsdottir is one of classical music's brightest superstars right now, and the Odense Symphony Orchestra has made a big splash by, together with the BBC Proms, San Francisco Symphony, Helsinki Philharmonic and Iceland Symphony Orchestra, commissioning a monumental cello concerto by the uncompromising sound designer. The work was premiered last year in the US and at the BBC Proms, and the review from there reads: “Thorvaldsdottir's new cello concerto, Before we fall , is a hit, both sonically and intellectually… Her sound world, delicate and massive at the same time, is like no other. And Johannes Moser plays throughout with both nerve-wracking splendor and fierce intimacy.”

Come from Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
