Dexys Midnight Runners Announce Malmö Concert for October 2026

This autumn, Dexys Midnight Runners, the renowned British band originating from Birmingham in the late 1970s, will return to Swedish stages. The group, known for unforgettable hits such as "Come On Eileen," "Geno," and "Jackie Wilson Said," will play at Slagthusets Teater in Malmö on October 7, 2026. The concert marks a significant event in the band’s ongoing legacy, with lead singer Kevin Rowland still at the helm.

A Highly Anticipated Return

Dexys Midnight Runners achieved international fame with their distinctive sound, blending energetic pop with soul influences. After decades in the industry, the band continues to captivate both older fans and new listeners. The Malmö performance will be one of three Swedish dates for the group during their October 2026 tour.

According to information from the organizers, doors to Slagthusets Teater will open at 18:00, and the concert itself is scheduled to begin at 19:30. Fans seeking tickets should make note of Friday, May 22, at 10:00, when tickets are set to be released via both Kulturbolaget.se and Slagthuset.se. The ticketing service Tickster will also list the show with tickets available from the same date and time.

While Malmö has been confirmed as one of the stops on Dexys Midnight Runners’ Swedish tour, details regarding the other two cities have not been disclosed. Similarly, additional information about supporting acts or the runtime of the concert has not yet been made available. As anticipation builds among the band’s followers, further updates are expected closer to the event date.

The band’s enduring appeal is a testament to their influential place in British pop and their ability to connect with audiences both old and new. With Kevin Rowland leading the charge, the Malmö concert promises to be a memorable highlight for fans in southern Sweden and beyond.

Tickets are expected to be in high demand given the band’s popularity and the relatively rare opportunity to experience their live show in Sweden. Fans are encouraged to secure their passes as soon as sales open to avoid disappointment.
