The Longest Johns are coming to Sweden – playing at Debaser Strand in Stockholm on 23 September

British folk group The Longest Johns, known worldwide for their powerful vocal harmonies and infectious energy, are coming to Sweden for an exclusive gig at Debaser Strand in Stockholm on 23 September.

Since forming around a kitchen table in Bristol in 2012, The Longest Johns have breathed new life into traditional sea shanties and work songs. With a unique combination of maritime folk music, humour and a modern presence, they have built a devoted following far beyond the UK. Their big breakthrough came in 2021 when their version of "Wellerman" went viral on TikTok and sparked the global "ShantyTok" trend – a phenomenon that reintroduced sea shanties to a new generation. The band's latest release is their tenth album, which concludes the ambitious "Pieces of Eight" project – a series of eight EP releases now compiled into a 24-track edition. Over the coming year, they will continue their extensive touring schedule with more than 100 gigs across Europe, North America and Australia.

With over 500,000 subscribers on YouTube and nearly 700,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, The Longest Johns are one of the most prominent names in modern folk music. Swedish audiences now have the chance to experience their acclaimed live performance when they take to the stage at Debaser Strand on 23 September.
