Peter, Björn & John - Writer’s Block - 20th Anniversary-Tour 2026

In the organizer's words:

Celebrated Swedish indie pop band Peter Bjorn and John return to European stages in 2026 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking album "Writer's Block". Originally released in 2006, the LP is widely regarded as one of the most influential indie albums of the mid-2000s. "Writer's Block" gained instant recognition, being named "Best New Music" by Pitchfork and praised by The Guardian as "a delight from start to finish".

The single "Young Folks" from the album, which features Victoria Bergsman, became an anthem that defined an era and earned her widespread and long-lasting acclaim. The song's rousing whistling has been the subject of numerous cultural discussions, and earlier this year the New York Times featured "Young Folks" in its newsletter "In Praise of Whistling in Pop Music" and its playlist "The Amplifier." In addition, the song was prominently featured in two of the biggest TV series of the time - Gossip Girl and How I Met Your Mother.

In addition, several album tracks caught the attention of some very well-known rappers. Kanye West rapped over "Young Folks" on his 2007 mixtape Can't Tell Me Nothing, in 2009 Drake sampled "Let's Call It OL" in his track of the same name and Azealia Banks rapped over "The Chills" and renamed the track "The Chill$".

This milestone tour offers fans the opportunity to relive Writer's Block in its entirety, along with other beloved hits from Peter Bjorn and John's extensive discography. The band's innovative approach to songwriting and knack for timeless melodies have cemented their place as indie-pop pioneers, and this tour promises to celebrate their enduring legacy.
