Musikhjälpen in Linköping 2026
Musikhjälpen is finally back in Linköping. In 2026, Stora Torget in Linköping will be filled with audience, artists, love, and commitment. The whole of Linköping will contribute!
Do you remember 2015 when Musikhjälpen’s booth stood at Stora Torget, it was full of happy people and the tones of “Stad i Ljus” with Rickard Söderberg and all the students of Linköping University filled the entire city?
It is now confirmed that P3’s and SVT’s annual audience favorite Musikhjälpen is coming back to Linköping this year. From November 30 to December 6, Stora Torget will transform into the Square of Love when Musikhjälpen’s glass booth takes its place.
During Musikhjälpen week, Stora Torget becomes the center for thousands of people who engage in Radiohjälpen’s annual fundraising, there will be live music from 50 of Sweden’s best artists and lots of famous guests – all in a 144-hour long live broadcast on P3 and SVT Play.
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.
This year’s theme will be announced in October and the program leaders, square reporter, and traveling
reporter in November. At the end of November, the entire schedule will be presented. So stay tuned here!

This is how it looked at Stora torget during Musikhjälpen 2015.
The whole of Linköping should join!
We know that there are many creative, smart, inventive, and fun people in Linköping! And of course, we want as many people as possible to get involved in some way during the Musikhjälpen week and raise a lot of money for a good cause.
It doesn’t matter if you are an individual crafting, an association competing, or a company with cool prizes. Everyone should join!
Visit Linköping & Co, Sveriges Radio and SVT will invite you to a joint Kickoff on October 7th where we present this year’s theme and where we give tips on how you, your company, or association can get involved during the week. Register for October 7th here.
Until then, please reflect in your own chamber if you have any fun ideas you want to realize during the week, how you think the main square should be decorated, or if you have suggestions for the program content. If you want to bounce ideas, share your thoughts, or have any questions, feel free to contact us at musikhjalpen@visitlinkoping.se.
On Wednesday, October 7, Visit Linköping & Co invites you to a pre-party filled with ideas, inspiration, and wonderful energy!
When: October 7 at 18:30 – around 19:30 followed by mingling
Where: Crusellhallen, Linköping Concert & Congress (entrance Vasavägen)
On November 30, the glass cage lands on Stora torget – but the party and engagement start now! Without all of you Linköping residents, associations, students, companies, schools, and groups of friends, there will be no Musikhjälpen.
During the kickoff, you will meet the team from Sveriges Radio, SVT, Radiohjälpen, and others who will share their best setups for how you can easily create your own fundraisers and activities.
After the stage program, there will be mingling with plenty of time to ask questions,
bounce ideas, and make connections.
It is already possible to start a collection on musikhjalpen.se. When the theme is finalized in October, Visit Linköping will invite organizations, associations, and companies to an information meeting for those who want to get involved in various ways. Send thoughts, questions, and ideas to musikhjalpen@visitlinkoping.se.
We are in full planning mode for the design of Stora Torget during the week and would love to hear your suggestions and ideas! What do you think symbolizes Linköping and Östergötland? What should adorn the square during prime time? No brands or advertisements will be visible.
Send in your thoughts and suggestions to musikhjalpen@visitlinkoping.se!
