Songwriter Festival Lund tells 2026

On Saturday, January 24th, from 12 noon to 21 pm, the Songwriter Festival Lund tells the story for the tenth consecutive year. Location: Botulfshörnan in the City Hall. Admission is free. The event is part of Vinterlund.


This is the unique festival for newly written musical stories where 40 artists offer 80 newly written songs in nine hours.

"Lund tells the story" begins at 12 noon on Saturday and continues until 9:30 pm with newly written stories set to music.

The songwriting festival "Lund tells" is a multicultural musical storytelling festival for newly written, self-written stories. More than 40 songwriters and storytellers participate with two new songs written by each artist.

The musical story is what unites songwriters and music composers from all corners of the earth, regardless of music genre. The most important thing is the text and that it reaches its listener. Some call it singersongwriting and others say.

What the participants have in common is that they all have to perform their own current material, in the form of a story set to music. It can be about life, love, friendship, longing, politics, the environment, nature or anything else you want to address and convey. The important thing is that you have something to tell with your music.

The performance is usually simple and stripped down, but can take place in any musical form as long as the content reaches the listener.

This is the tenth consecutive year that "Lund tells the story" has been held in collaboration with Vinterlund. It all started in 2017. Admission is free!  

The organizer is Visfestivalen i Lund/Föreningen Danish-Swedish music festival, in collaboration with Vinterlund, Kultur Lund, Tora Vega Folk High School in Lund/Åkarp, Vislinjen at the Nordic Folk High School in Kungälv, ABF, Stadshallen in Lund, Torgets Taperia restaurant in Lund, etc.
