GP stage: Jonna Randen and Hostilia

Jonna Randen
Jonna Randen is a singer-songwriter whose music moves freely between folk, pop and rock, never allowing itself to be defined by genre. In 2025 she released her second album, Visor från ingenstans (Songs from Nowhere), a record about finding your way as a young adult.

At the heart of her work are her lyrics, filled with humorous observations of everyday life and a perspective that often escapes others. Combined with her raw voice, they give her songs an authenticity that embraces both tears and joy. She began writing songs as a child and has followed her own musical path ever since.

With more than one million views on TikTok, her music has reached a wide audience. On stage, Jonna and her band invite you to dance, laugh and cry.

Hostilia
The Gothenburg band Hostilia released their debut album Face The Fire in 2025, which received top reviews both in Sweden and internationally. They have supported bands such as LIK and Dismember, and have also toured with The Haunted.

They play metal rooted in thrash, drawing inspiration from the classic Bay Area scene. Rather than a polished and heavily produced sound, they aim for something more organic and alive.

Their songwriting shows a clear sense of creativity, resulting in intense music that takes you back to the genre's classic influences, but with a contemporary punch.
