Molly Nilsson
Berlin-based Swedish singer, songwriter, and producer MOLLY NILSSON has long established herself as one of the most significant female artists in contemporary independent music.

Music & Performance
MOLLY NILSSON appeared on stage at 20:45, welcomed by loud applause and a sea of familiar faces. The atmosphere inside SO36 was intense yet warm - every corner of the venue filled, every listener fully present. As the last show of the “Amateur Forever” Tour 2025, there was a clear sense of shared awareness between artist and audience. From the first song, Molly demonstrated her ability to hold a room effortlessly. Her distinctive voice floated over minimal synth arrangements, sometimes joined by the crowd singing along passionately, sometimes met with complete silence as people listened with full attention.
One particular moment stood out when “how much is the world” turned into a collective chorus, underlining just how deeply her music connects with her audience. Between songs, Molly revealed a perfect sense of humour and an honest, direct connection with the crowd. Her short speeches ranged from genuinely funny remarks to more reflective and political thoughts, touching on hopes for a brighter future without wars, violence, or fear. These moments never felt forced; instead, they strengthened the bond between artist and audience, making the performance feel personal and human.
The entire dancefloor listened with “all ears,” completely focused and emotionally aligned with what was happening on stage. The concert flowed naturally and lasted about an hour, closing the main set to enthusiastic applause. As Molly left the stage, the crowd immediately called her back for a bis. Answering the request, she returned and performed two additional songs, bringing the evening to a gentle yet powerful conclusion. It felt like a final shared breath between artist and audience - an intimate farewell to the entire tour.
