Musikhjälpen in Linköping 2026
30/11-6/12, Stora torget transforms into Love’s square!
Musikhjälpen is finally coming back to Linköping, filling Stora torget with audience, artists, love, and engagement. All of Linköping will of course participate and contribute!
Do you remember 2015 when Musikhjälpen’s glass cage stood at Stora Torget, it was full of happy people and the tones of “Stad i Ljus” with Rickard Söderberg and all the students from Linköping University filled the entire city?
Think now how fun it is that P3’s and SVT’s annual audience favorite Musikhjälpen is returning to Linköping this year! From November 30 to December 6, Stora torget transforms into the Square of Love when Musikhjälpen’s glass cage takes its place.
During Musikhjälpen week, Stora torget becomes the center for thousands of people who engage in Radiohjälpen’s annual fundraising, with live music from 50 of Sweden’s best artists and lots of famous guests – all in a 144-hour long broadcast on P3 and SVT Play.
This is what it looked like at Stora torget during Musikhjälpen 2015!

Questions & answers
Musikhjälpen is a program on P3 and SVT that for one week in December each year engages
Sweden in Radiohjälpen’s fundraising for work against a human disaster. Three well-known
hosts are locked in a glass cage on a square to broadcast radio and TV around the clock for 144 hours. Sweden’s best artists, well-known profiles, and engaged individuals come together to spread knowledge, raise money, and support people fighting for the right to a dignified life.
In 2025, the theme was “All children have the right to go to school.” Linnea Wikblad, Assia Dahir, and
Hampus Hedström hosted when the audience initiated 1.2 million engagements and
raised nearly 75 million.
Musikhjälpen is broadcast in its entirety on P3 Sveriges Radio and SVT Play. Large parts are also broadcast on SVT2 and SVT24.
Sveriges Radio and SVT are organizing in collaboration with the host city. In Linköping, it is Visit Linköping & Co that will project lead the event and collaborate with a number of local actors on the implementation.
Now the theme for P3’s and SVT’s annual audience favorite Musikhjälpen is decided. Radiohjälpen’s collection this year goes to efforts for mental health in war and crisis. Mental health is a lifeline in humanitarian crises that gives people the opportunity to continue living when everything else has collapsed.
This year’s hosts, town square reporter, and traveling reporter will be revealed in November. At the end of November, the entire schedule will also be presented. So stay tuned here!
