About the Artist

Formed in Jönköping, Sweden, in 1992, The Cardigans quickly rose to international fame with their unique sound that defies easy categorisation. Initially rooted in indie pop and alternative rock, their music evolved to incorporate elements of lounge, bossa nova, and even symphonic pop, demonstrating a remarkable artistic versatility. Their breakthrough came in the late 1990s with the release of the album 'Gran Turismo' and its ubiquitous single 'My Favourite Game', a track that became a global anthem and is still a staple of their live sets. However, it was the follow-up album, 'Long, Long Way from Home', featuring the mega-hit 'Lovefool', that truly cemented their status as international superstars. The song's inclusion on the 'Romeo + Juliet' soundtrack propelled it to the top of charts worldwide, making it an enduring classic.

Led by the enigmatic Nina Persson, whose distinctive voice is a cornerstone of the band's appeal, and featuring the intricate guitar work of Peter Svensson, the band's chemistry is undeniable. Over their career, they have released seven studio albums, each showcasing their evolution and commitment to artistic integrity. Their live performances are renowned for their energy, precision, and the sheer joy they bring to the stage. Fans can expect a setlist that expertly balances their most beloved anthems with deeper cuts, providing a comprehensive journey through their impressive discography.
