It feels fantastic to welcome bands such as Atomic Swing, Popsicle, Ludwig Hart, Melody Club, Huggorm, and Vildsvin (more bands/artists to be announced) to Nestorfest 2026.
That Nestor opened for Atomic Swing at Ljusdal’s Folkets Park back in 1991 makes the nostalgia coefficient very much present.

The uncrowned kings of indie pop, Popsicle, are the band that put Sweden on the indie map. Popsicle is not just music—it’s the very essence of Swedish pop history.

The Luleå-based band Huggorm has been simply described as “It’s just rock—damn good rock,” and we couldn’t agree more.

The Varberg trio Vildsvin reunites and will make their first appearance in nearly three decades—around the same time as the Water Festival took place in Stockholm, or the Carnival in Falköping.

Since their debut in 2019, Ludwig Hart has paved the way for success with his distinctive, guitar-driven rock productions and an impressive presence. On stage, he gives it everything and leaves no one untouched, with hints of the Swedish west coast and Americana, yet firmly rooted in the present. Hart’s first two albums have been major successes in Sweden.

Melody Club is a Swedish pop group that was active between 2000 and 2014. They released five albums and scored several hit singles in Sweden. The band reunited in 2025 and will now come to Falköping following their highly successful comeback.
