Christmas Unplugged returns to Linköping with the family's combined talent

Christmas concerts are an established Swedish tradition, but few formats have managed to retain their intimacy and warmth in the same way as Christmas Unplugged. When Peter Jöback, Bruno Mitsogiannis, Matilda Wahlgren and Petra Wahlgren take to the stage at Linköping Konsert & Kongress on 10 December 2026, it happens within the framework of a concept that deliberately distances itself from grand productions.

Instead of large light shows and stage design, the musicians themselves take centre stage. Acoustic arrangements and close contact with the audience create a feeling of being in a living room rather than a large concert hall. It is precisely this closeness that makes the experience special. The artists share personal anecdotes, talk about their own Christmas traditions and invite the audience to be part of the evening.

The Wahlgren family is a natural part of Swedish entertainment history. Peter has a voice that reaches both wide and deep, Bruno has built his career on stage art and music, whilst Matilda and Petra contribute their own perspectives and expressions. Together they create a dynamic that works equally well in the studio and live.

Linköping Konsert & Kongress is a venue well suited to this type of event. The venue has a modern standard whilst retaining a certain warmth. The acoustics are adapted for both orchestras and smaller ensembles, which means that every note comes through clearly without becoming too sterile.

For those planning to attend the concert, it may be worth bearing in mind to book tickets well in advance. Christmas Unplugged has grown in popularity in recent years and seats tend to sell quickly. The price ranges between 1,395 and 1,695 SEK depending on seating, which is in line with similar concerts in the same segment.

Linköping as a city also offers a good environment for a full evening. The city centre is close to the concert hall and there is good access to restaurants and cafés for those who want to eat before or after the show. In December, the city is usually beautifully illuminated, which adds to the Christmas atmosphere.

As for the programme itself, Christmas Unplugged usually contains a mix of classic Christmas songs and slightly more unexpected interpretations. The artists take the liberty of adding their own arrangements and sometimes even their own songs that suit the theme. This means that even those who have attended previous years can discover something new.

The concept has become a tradition for many families and friends who want to celebrate Christmas together in a different way. It is not uncommon for visitors to return year after year, and the very reunion with familiar faces on stage seems to be part of the charm.

For those seeking a calm and atmospheric start to the Christmas season, Christmas Unplugged can be an excellent choice. It is a concert that requires nothing more than presence and a willingness to be carried along by the music.
