The autumn music calendar brings together new albums, major concerts and festivals across Sweden. Mina Asp Romefors, Dagens Nyheter’s music editor, highlights ten events, including releases from Tove Lo and Troye Sivan and an opera based on a Bo Widerberg classic.

Ezra Collective will release “Here because of hope” on September 11. The British jazz-afrobeat group made history in 2025 by becoming the first jazz band to win the Brit Award for Group of the Year. The band also drew major attention at this year’s Way Out West festival.

Tove Lo’s “Estrus” follows on September 18, her first album in four years. The album explores tensions between the body and the mind, and features Belgian artist and producer Stromae. Troye Sivan will release “She’s the best” on October 9. He has said the album will be less sexual than his previous work and will pursue a less polished sound, including vocals recorded at home.
