Anna Von Hausswolff returns to Italy: three shows in August

Swedish musician and composer Anna von Hausswolff will return to Italy in August 2026 for three shows as part of the tour supporting her new album "Iconoclasts", released on October 31 via Year0001.

The Italian dates are set as follows: Saturday, August 8 in Genoa, at Villa Durazzo Bombrini as part of the Lilith Festival; Sunday, August 9 in Rimini, at the Corte Agostiniani for the Sagra Malatestiana; Monday, August 10 in L'Aquila, in the archaeological area of Peltuinum, for the Paesaggi Sonori series. Tickets for the Genoa date will go on sale from 10 a.m. on Monday, March 16 via Comcerto and Live Nation, while tickets for the Rimini and L'Aquila shows will go on sale in the coming months.

After the international breakthrough achieved with "Ceremony" (2012), von Hausswolff has established herself as one of the most original figures in contemporary European music, developing a language that combines pipe organ tradition, atmospheric rock and electronic experimentation. Her writing remains centred on the pipe organ, an instrument she uses as a genuine sonic engine: a living matter that expands and contracts, generating monumental compositions alongside more intimate, contemplative moments.

With "Iconoclasts" the musician further broadens her expressive range, introducing more open, melodic elements without giving up the emotional tension that defines her work. Produced alongside longtime collaborator Filip Leyman, the album brings together a string of guests including Iggy Pop, Ethel Cain, Abul Mogard and Maria von Hausswolff, alongside saxophonist Otis Sandsjö, whose contribution helps heighten the dynamic dimension of the compositions.

The Swedish singer-songwriter's new project moves through themes of love, freedom and personal autonomy, weaving together symbolic imagery and reflections on the contemporary condition. Amid deep percussion, layered organs and pulsing guitars, von Hausswolff's voice remains the fulcrum of a broad, stratified sound design.

The singles "Stardust" and "The Whole Woman", the latter featuring Iggy Pop, offered an early glimpse of some of the directions explored on the new record.
