The Ark Tour 2026

The Ark back with a big tour in the summer of 2026! In the summer of 2022, The Ark reunited in front of 150,000 fans, now the band is taking the next step. In the summer of 2026, The Ark will be on the Swedish stages again, The Ark is back!

We did the 2022 tour on slightly shaky legs, as a kind of loving memory trip. Then something happened; what was supposed to be a temporary reunion during a summer, instead brought something to life. Something bigger than we had imagined was born. We wanted more. Together. Not to repeat, but to create something together again. Suddenly, music also started to emerge.

In 2026, we boil down everything we have been to the core of who we are. This is not just a return visit, but we want to create the ultimate The Ark experience. A visual and musical whole that is the essence of The Ark, the band says. The Ark is a Swedish glam rock band formed in 1991 in Rottne outside Växjö. The band consists of Ola Salo (vocals), Lars Leari Ljungberg (bass), Mikael Jepson (guitar), Martin Axén (guitar), Sylvester Schlegel (drums) and Jens Andersson (keyboards).

Since their debut, The Ark have established themselves as one of the most influential and charismatic groups in modern Swedish pop and rock history. The band had their breakthrough in 2000 with the album We Are The Ark, which featured the hit single It Takes a Fool to Remain Sane. The song was awarded a Grammis and became a generation-defining anthem for individuality and the right to be yourself.

In the following years, The Ark released a series of successful albums, including In Lust We Trust (2002), State of the Ark (2004), Prayer for the Weekend (2007) and In Full Regalia (2010). After a successful career and six studio albums, The Ark announced their breakup in 2010. The farewell tour in 2011 concluded with a concert in Stockholm in front of an enthusiastic audience.

In 2022, The Ark reunited for an anniversary tour that celebrated their musical legacy and reaffirmed their unique importance to Swedish popular culture. Age limit: 13 years Tickets are sold via the VIP Monkey app, download for free on the App Store or Google Play
