- I love being on tour. It is on stage that music becomes real and it feels so luxurious to make my songs in a completely new way together with Norrbotten Big Band. They are absolutely incredible and I get extremely excited just by the thought of what we will be able to do together. God, we're going to have so much fun!, says Linnea Henriksson.

In April 2023, Linnea Henriksson released her latest album Det Lilla, which was described as pop music I really missed (Per Magnusson, Aftonbladet) and as inviting and sincere - but not least it is seductively beautiful (Hugo Göthberg, Nöjesguiden). In the late spring that followed, she took the music out on the road on the acclaimed small tour. An idea from herself where she wanted to create more stops on the Swedish tour map by attracting new people, organizers as audience, to the stage. In total, there were 22 stops for Linnea Henriksson and her band, which stretched to all possible stages from Kristianstad to Skellefteå. As a live performer, she is one of the most appreciated for her audience connection and can make any stage her own.
