Kent (2)

Swedish alternative/pop rock band formed in Eskilstuna, Sweden in 1990.

With eleven #1 albums, five #1 singles, 23 Swedish Grammy Awards, and over 3 million record sales, Kent is considered the most popular rock/pop group within Sweden and throughout Scandinavia.

With origins rooted in distorted rock, Kent found mainstream success through their alternative rock albums of the mid-1990s, 2000s and 2010s, the latter decades during which they adopted elements of synth-pop. On 16 March 2016, the band announced that they would release their final album, titled Då som nu för alltid, after 26 years of performing. The band's announcement noted that the dissolution of the band is voluntary and is despite their continued success.
On December 17, 2016, Kent made their last gig ever and the band ceased to exist

…and on October 18, 2024, Kent announced a return for three concerts in Stockholm on March 21-23, 2025.
