Arlo Parks - Desire Tour

Arlo Parks brings the Desire Tour to Slaktkyrkan in Johanneshov, Sweden on 2 December 2026. London-born Anaïs Oluwatoyin Estelle Marinho crafts close-up songs where indie pop, muted soul and traces of spoken word meet. Her voice stays clear and warm, carrying stories of friendship, desire, anxiety and slow healing, with poetry folded into the melodies.

On stage, the set flows between the intimate pull of early tracks like Cola and the contours shaped by Collapsed in Sunbeams (2021) and My Soft Machine (2023). The band plays with lightness and detail: lean guitar lines, soft synths, R&B-leaning rhythms that leave space for breath. Parks keeps the focus on phrasing and narrative rather than showmanship, letting the images do the work.

The Desire Tour leans into that balance: personal writing, steady pulse, songs that open up live without excess. In the close atmosphere of Slaktkyrkan, the choruses land gently, the stories stay front and center, and the evening traces her path so far while leaving room for what comes next.
