Simon Superti returns to the music scene with the highly-anticipated release of his new single, “Rakt i kaklet.” This marks his second single of the year and coincides with the start of what will be his most extensive tour to date, also titled “Rakt i kaklet.” The tour will span 21 dates across Sweden, beginning in Vimmerby on 30 May and concluding in Karlstad on 29 August, making it a landmark event in his evolving career.
The themes of “Rakt i kaklet” resonate with both personal reflection and ambition. According to Superti, the song centers on the pivotal moment when a person realizes the need to move beyond comfort and familiarity to continue growing. It is an exploration of leaving behind one’s home, community, and even former versions of oneself—not as an act of rejection, but as a courageous step toward something greater while honoring the foundation of past experiences. This message is significant to Superti, who weaves his own journey into his lyrics, blending nostalgia with the call for self-discovery.
Earlier this spring, Superti unveiled the single “Spöken,” the first track from his forthcoming album “Hemlisar III.” While a specific release date for the new album has not been confirmed, “Spöken” has already drawn attention for its exploration of complex themes such as identity, class, belonging, and belief in humanity. These subjects have become hallmarks of Superti’s writing, gaining recognition since his 2023 debut album “Hemlisar,” and continuing through subsequent releases and projects.
The year 2026 represents a significant chapter in Superti’s artistic trajectory beyond music. He recently expanded his creative reach into acting, making his television debut in the SVT series “Hundarna.” This step into acting underscores his versatility and desire to challenge himself across multiple artistic disciplines. It’s a continuation of a period of notable growth that began following the release of “Bullerbyn är död” in early 2025, swiftly followed by the album “Hemlisar II.”
With an ambitious summer tour on the horizon, Superti is set to perform in a diverse range of cities and venues, including stops in Mölndal, Västerås, Gothenburg, Uppsala, Örebro, Malmö, Karlskrona, and many more. The tour structure signals an embrace of both established festival stages and more intimate settings, reflecting the artist’s intent to connect widely with audiences across the country.
