Killen. presents live shows this spring After quickly establishing himself as one of Scandinavia’s most exciting names in dance music, Killen. is now taking the next big step. For the first time, he will take the stage with a fully live-based set — on May 14 at Blå in Oslo and May 15 at Bar 15 in Stockholm.
Tickets go on sale Friday, March 6 at 10:00 AM.
Since his solo debut, producer Hannes Torssell, better known as Killen., has made a strong impact on the Scandinavian dance music scene. His debut EP “Highlight” quickly gained attention both in and outside Sweden, establishing him as one of the country’s most interesting musical exports. In recent years, he has performed across the Nordics and at several of Scandinavia’s biggest festivals, including Way Out West. He now has over 280,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
In 2025, Killen. received a Grammis Award for Electronic/Dance of the Year, and as recently as last week he was nominated again in the same category for 2026 — proof that in a short time he has established himself as one of the artists shaping the future of dance music and leading the genre into a new golden age. He has also been nominated for Future Artist at the P3 Guld awards, where the jury praised his groundbreaking and euphoric “cry-on-the-dancefloor” sound.
Killen. has produced for established names such as Swedish House Mafia, oskar med k, and RL Grime. He has also remixed tracks for Håkan Hellström and Ane Brun, and toured with Yaeger as a support act for Zara Larsson. Despite his success, he felt that much of the music he was writing was too personal to suit other artists, which led to the idea of starting his own solo project. He adopted his childhood nickname as his stage name and launched Killen.
After kickstarting 2025 with the standalone singles “ONANON” and “Mojo”, he is now preparing his second EP, “Stay Like This Forever”, set for release in 2026 — his first under the label Disorder. Across six new tracks, Killen. deepens his sound and further explores the psychedelic influences heard in earlier singles, this time with a more playful approach inspired by the music he himself loves.
With the singles released so far from the EP, Killen. once again demonstrates his wide musical range, delivering a sound that works just as well as the soundtrack to a solitary road trip as it does on an energetic dancefloor.
In autumn 2025, another international milestone followed when Killen. joined Jigitz as a special guest on his North American tour, performing dates across both the United States and Canada. The tour marked his live debut on the North American stage and introduced his sound to an entirely new audience.
This spring marks the next step for Killen. as he presents two shows performed entirely live — May 14 at Blå in Oslo and May 15 at Bar 15 in Stockholm.
The concert is presented by Luger.
