Pride-song at Skansen with Babsan and Christer Björkman

For the inauguration of the Europride on the 25th of July is coming to be a songfest at Sollidenscene in Skansen. Babsan and Christer Björman are leading the evening together with, among other, Marit Bergman, Veronica Maggio, Sarah Dawn Finer, Annelie Rydé, Jan Johansen, Therese Grankvistand and Östen med resten.

These artists, and many more, will open the festival with a classic Swedish songfest.
”We kick-out the festival as it should be. With an evening which will be both ceremonious and full of joy, music and songs. It will be a coloured inauguration that will lighten up one of Sweden’s most beautiful places; it is a good and advantaging beginning for the Europride at Stockholm.” Jonah Nylund, chairman for Stockholm Pride.

The inauguration opens with a dance show especially written by Carl Olof Berg.  Under the guidance of the conductor Pontus Kågeryd the Choir Three D will be backing a dozen of artists performing their own songs.
”Skansen is proud to become the arena for the inauguration of 2008. At the first Europride at Stockholm the festival took end at Skansen, this year it begins here with us. We invite all the Europride-visitors to a free access to Skansen.”  Urban Wallin, program chef at Skansen.

The gala starts and opens with rehearsals already at 19h00. For all who bought a festival-ticket then this would act as a entrance ticket for Skansen the entire day.
