PAARD360: THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH

Sofia HK

Sofia HK is a Swedish folk singer whose music blends melancholy, hope and love. Her debut EP I Norr, released by Supertraditional and produced by Sara Parkman and Hampus Norén, received strong praise and led to a tour across Sweden. The songs explore longing, home and belonging, and the tension between city and countryside. With intimate folk pop soundscapes, she evokes landscapes, memories and movement. Raised in a small mountain village in Jämtland, Sofia HK is one of the most promising young folk artists today.

What is PAARD360?

Architect Rem Koolhaas designed a modular concert hall for the Grolsch Hall, in which the balconies are extendable. This allows the stage to be placed in the middle of the room, creating a unique setting: an arena in which artists become the center point, surrounded by the balconies. This provides an intimate, unique, and exciting experience. During these concerts and club nights, the audience stands 360° around the stage, offering a completely new experience of our iconic hall. PAARD360° is the best-kept secret of the Grolsch Hall.

After successful collaborations with orchestras such as Amsterdam Sinfonietta and the Gävle Symphony Orchestra, Matsson returns in 2025 to the solo performances where his career began. Expect an evening full of poetic folk, new songs from his album Henry St., and the unpolished emotion he is known for.

“Music is my primary way of asking really loud questions. Most of my songs are big life questions, how to live and function in this world.” — The Tallest Man on Earth
