Pressmeddelande -

Pat Metheny comes to Skellefteå – the world-renowned artist performs at Sara kulturhus!

On August 9, the audience in Skellefteå will have a unique opportunity to experience Pat Metheny live in concert - an event guaranteed to be the highlight of the year for all jazz lovers. Pat Metheny is one of the greatest legends in jazz, and this fall, he will be performing at Sara kulturhus!

With a career spanning over five decades, Pat Metheny has revolutionized jazz guitar and become a true pioneer of the genre. His debut album, Bright Size Life (1975), reshaped the sound of jazz guitar, and over the years, he has continued to push the boundaries of what jazz can be. He has played with musical greats such as Steve Reich, David Bowie, Ornette Coleman, and this year's Polar Prize winner, Herbie Hancock. Pat has been awarded 20 Grammy Awards across multiple categories. In 2018, he received the prestigious NEA Jazz Master title, the highest honor in jazz in the United States.

Metheny’s unique ability to blend traditional jazz with modern influences and groundbreaking technology makes every concert an exceptional experience. His musical range is almost unparalleled – from solo arrangements to large orchestral works, from acoustic to electronic. The fact that he has chosen to perform his only Swedish concert in Skellefteå makes this an event no jazz lover should miss!

For yet another world-class artist like Pat Metheny to choose Skellefteå, far from the traditional big-city stages, is a major milestone. It also highlights the growing attraction of Sara Kulturhus, which, in a short time, has established itself as a leading venue for jazz. In recent years, legends like Yellowjackets, Ida Nielsen, Modern Standards Supergroup and Cory Henry have graced its stage.

Metheny’s concert further cements Sara kulturhus’ reputation as one of Sweden’s top venues - something that program director Sofia Andersson Lundberg witnessed firsthand before securing the booking:

– People within Pat Metheny’s network reached out to me to learn more about Sara kulturhus. From there, we were able to present the venue and seal the deal. This process is an incredible testament to how strongly Sara kulturhus is establishing itself in Europe as a music stage for world-class artists.


Tickets for Pat Metheny’s concert are available at sarakulturhus.se, ticketmaster.se, and Skellefteå Tourist Center.
