STOCKHOLM - Per’s Swedish tour this summer was a huge success, as we all know. Expressen has some statistics to back this up. A total of 157,000 people saw Per live in concert during his Sommar-Mazarin tour. Here is a list of the concerts and their number of attendance:
- Halmstad, Jul 7: 13,000
- Helsingborg, Jul 30: 12,000
- Skövde, Aug 1: 8,000
- Finspång, Aug 2: 8,000
- Varberg, Aug 3: 12,000
- Malmö, Aug 5: 10,000
- Göteborg, Aug 6: 22,000
- Kalmar, Aug 8: 9,000
- Jönköping, Aug 9: 7,000
- Karlskrona, Aug 10: 7,000
- Stockholm, Aug 12: 17,000
- Sundsvall, Aug 14: 6,000
- Leksand, Aug 15: 9,000
- Karlstad, Aug 16: 7,000
- Eskilstuna, Aug 17: 10,000
Per thinks one of the highlights was the mid-August concert in Stockholm. “Over 17,000 wonderful people showed up. Playing in Stockholm has always been tough for a country boy like me, but eventually it was an excellent concert,” says Per.
“The tour was fantastic, but all too short,” Per said to Expressen. “I hope there will be a follow-up.”

Who said 250,000? Not us at least. “Over 155,000” was TDR’s quote earlier. For a 3 week tour in Sweden I’d call this nothing short of amazing.

Superb figures... very commendable.
Wish there was a worthwhile demand for him/them to play in the UK.
