Håkan Hellström Returns to Umeå for Highly Anticipated Summer Concert
After a nine-year hiatus, one of Sweden’s most prominent artists will return to Umeå on August 14th for a long-awaited summer concert at Hedlundadungen, marking his first summer tour in three years.
A Significant Event for Umeå
The concert, arranged by Homerun Festivals, is expected to attract audiences from across northern Sweden, other parts of the country, and the Swedish-Finnish market. With Håkan Hellström’s strong fan base and high demand for previous performances, expectations are running high.
”Welcoming Håkan Hellström back to Umeå is extremely significant. Events of this scale are crucial for Umeå’s attractiveness, both for incoming visitors and residents. We’re looking forward to a truly strong music summer with experiences that create life, pride, and movement throughout the city,” says Gabriella Hed Vall, CEO of Visit Umeå.
Summer Tour 2026
Hellström’s 2026 summer tour includes eight stops at some of Sweden’s most beloved summer stages, ranging from Helsingborg in the south to Piteå in the north. The tour follows his latest album ”Svensk Rost”, which went straight to number one on the Swedish album chart and was widely praised by critics.
”The best part about making an album is that you get to tour around Sweden afterwards. And now extending the tour into the summer feels super exciting. Most importantly – coming to your cities. Meeting you!” – Håkan Hellström
