Peter Wemö - A tribute to Björn Afzelius

A tribute to Björn Afzelius – with Peter Wemö Thursday, January 7, 2027 | 9:00 PM | Herr Nilsen, Oslo It will be warm, close, and genuine when Peter Wemö invites you to an emotional and unforgettable evening with the music of Björn Afzelius – one of the Nordic region's most beloved folk artists. Over the course of two hours, you will experience it all: well-known and cherished classics, forgotten gems, sing-alongs, humor, powerful stories, and moments that will surely move you. Afzelius' lyrics resonated with an entire generation – from the political and socially critical songs written together with Mikael Wiehe in Hoola Bandoola Band, to the painful and beautiful love songs that still find their way straight to the heart. His words are as relevant today as when they were written, and through Wemö's interpretations, they gain new life – with warmth, a twinkle in the eye, and a good dose of storytelling. “Elvis made me sing, The Beatles made me play guitar, and Bob Dylan made me care about the lyrics,” Afzelius once said. This concert captures the very essence of that – the love for music, the engagement, the poetry, and humanity. This year marks 26 years since Björn Afzelius passed away – and this concert is a grand tribute to the legacy he left behind. With his warm communication abilities and deep love for the Nordic song repertoire, Peter Wemö is one of the foremost bearers of tradition in the genre. Prepare yourself for an evening that ranges from the most tender and moving – to moments of laughter, community, and sing-alongs. This is a concert experience that goes straight to the heart. Secure your tickets now – this will be an evening you won’t forget!
