It has been four years since Per Gessle and Gyllene Tider last visited Fredrikstad.
The concert then had to be moved from the Dampskipsbrygga to Værste, in order to accommodate all the audience members.
Also now on Saturday, August 12, the band is playing at Værste. The concert has been added to Odden.
Here is an overview of everything you should know before the big night, the answers have been given by project manager Emilie Berg Slangsvold at the concert organizer company Hes:
Opens three and a half hours before the main concert
– When do the doors open?
– The doors open at 5 p.m.
– Can you turn up early to secure a place near the stage?
– Yes, you can. You just have to be ready when we open the gates to secure your place.
– There is a warm-up band before Gyllene Tider goes on stage, who plays when?
– Minor Majority plays from 18.00 to 18.45 and Uno Svenningson from 19.15 to 20.00. Gyllene Tider goes on at 8.30 p.m.
– And how long do the Golden Times play?
– For about two hours.
– How many songs can the audience expect?
– The audience can expect both new and old hits.
This was the playlist for Gyllene Tider at this year’s tour premiere
– If you’ve seen any of the Golden Times returns, you won’t be shocked. But Per Gessle talks more, has closer audience contact – perhaps an effect of the 2021 acoustic solo tour. Among the rarities this evening we also get fine «Chrissie, how are you?». And Billy is, as always, a social realist island in the band’s discography, wrote Aftonbladet’s reviewer Per Magnusson after Gyllene Tider’s tour premiere in Halmstad on July 7 this year.
Here are the songs Gyllene Tider played on their tour premiere:
1. Golden Times again
2. June, July, August
3. The heart that burns
4. Send a postcard, darling
5. Old love never rusts
6. The girls on TV2
7. Chrissie, how are you?
8. (She wants) pulse
9. A stone by a lake in a forest
10. The girl in a Cole Porter song 11.
Tough times (for a dreamer)
12. My girl and me
13. King of sand
14. The sound of another heart
15. If we’re gonna love, we’re gonna love to Buddy Holly
16. (Come and we will) live life
17. (Not dance as well as) sailors
18. Tylö sun
Encore:
19. Billy
20. It’s over now
21. Go fishing
22. When the two of us become one
23. Summer time
24. When all the friends have gone home
