Teddybears finished their second consecutive sold-out concert at Cirkus in Stockholm on Friday, October 23, 2026, performing songs from their 2000 album Rock’n’Roll Highschool without wearing their traditional bear masks.
The Stockholm venue hosted the performance on Friday, October 23, 2026, marking the final night of a two-day run at the historical location on Djurgården. Both Thursday and Friday evening drew capacity crowds to the 1,600-capacity theater, according to tour organizer Luger. The group stepped onto the main stage following an evening schedule that listed a 19.30 start time, though the actual performance time started slightly past the ticketed hour.
Rock’n’Roll Highschool Defines the Tour Sound
At the center of the comeback tour stands the album Rock’n’Roll Highschool, the 2000 release that topped the Swedish album charts and earned four Grammis awards. The record established the trio’s signature collision of punk, hip-hop, electronic beats, and pop.
Culture critics noted that the quarter-century-old material retains its sharp production edge. Ahead of My Time sätter tonen for the evening before Automatic Loverfortsätter att pumpa upp energin. Rather than relying purely on nostalgia, the set leaned heavily on the physical weight of the music, driven by heavy basslines and uncompromising rhythms that filled the room.
When Rock’n’Roll Highschool is celebrated live, it demonstrates how strange, boundless, and above all danceable it can sound when hardcore meets hip-hop, reggae, pop, and electronic discharges. It is easy to get caught up in nostalgia when an album turns 25, but Teddybears have never been a band content with following the rules. The trio has left the iconic bear heads behind, but hardly their attitude. Led by Patrik Arve, that same blend of swagger, humor, and a slightly provocative self-assurance remains, which is also confirmed by DN reviewer Mattias Dahlström, who notes that Teddybears appeal to all camps and all ages.
Robyn and Other Collaborators Join the Setlist
While the anniversary album provided the core framework, the band reached across its catalog to bring out prominent collaborators. Later in the set, Robyn joined the band on stage to perform Cobrastyle, giving the track a distinct dimension compared to her solo performances in the capital, specifically noting that it is samma låt som hon framförde under sin konsert på 3Arena.
Audience reports from the opening night on October 22 indicated a packed running order that also featured Rigo and Thomas Rusiak, though guest lineups for the final Friday performance were unconfirmed by organizers, and the exact setlist order did not necessarily mirror the premiere night.

Logistics and Venue Details at Cirkus
