Taubedagen 2025 – Star-Studded Tribute Concert at World of Volvo
On 12 March 2025, Evert Taube will be honoured with a concert at World of Volvo in Gothenburg, featuring artists such as Helen Sjöholm and Anders “Moneybrother” Wendin. The concert, Sjögång, offers a musical journey through Taube’s timeless works and coincides with Taubedagen, which in 2025 marks 135 years since Taube’s birth.
Sjögång is inspired by Taube’s debut at Cabaret Läderlappen in Stockholm in 1919, when his characteristic, sailor-inspired gait made an unforgettable impression on both audiences and critics. The concert revives this feeling by letting the rhythm of the sea shape the music and the on-stage performances.
“World of Volvo is a meeting place for unique experiences, and it is an honour for us to celebrate Taubedagen together with our visitors and some of Sweden’s finest musicians,” says Viktoria Wallner, Chief Experience Officer at World of Volvo.
Performing artists:
Several well-known names from Sweden’s music scene will take part, including Helen Sjöholm, Anders “Moneybrother” Wendin, Benny Andersson, and Augustifamiljen with Stefan Sporsén as musical director. The evening will be hosted by Martin Nyström, the initiator of Taubedagen.

About Taubedagen:
Taubedagen was established in 2023 and is an annual event in collaboration with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, supported by the Taube’s World Foundation. The purpose is to spread Evert Taube’s texts and music to new generations, with a focus on highlighting his ability to combine the familiar with the unexpected, and the local with the global.
“Taubedagen aims to spread Evert Taube’s texts and music, like grass taking new paths, connecting with the unexpected. We want to share Evert Taube’s unique perspective: linking home and away, near and far, the familiar with the foreign,” says Martin Nyström, initiator of Taubedagen.
Taube Week will begin early on the Sunday when World of Volvo inaugurates the Taube exhibition, where visitors can enjoy art and stories from Taube’s life, curated by his granddaughter Maria Taube. The restaurant Ceno on Top will also offer a Taube-inspired menu.
