The Boyband brings the 90s party to Aarhus in April 2026

You know the feeling. The first chords of “I Want It That Way” hit the room, and before you know it, you’re singing along. All around, small groups stand close together. Some laugh, while others close their eyes for a moment because the songs hit something deeper. It’s the collective intoxication of nostalgia that The Boyband builds their concert on.

"The relationship people have with the music from their youth is so broad. It's something you relive with others," says Lasse.

On April 18, The Boyband will take the stage at Stakladen in Aarhus. On that occasion, we spoke with Lasse, lead singer and guitarist, about what kind of experience awaits you as an audience. Because this is not just another concert. It is an evening where your memories are heard again, and where the community is just as important as the music.

From brown bars to Berlin

The Boyband's journey started in 2019 in smaller bars and cafes, where they dragged their own instruments and equipment in. But since then, the project has grown somewhat larger. Today, they are an established name, not only playing in Denmark, but also taking over cities like Hamburg and Berlin.

When you enter Stakladen, you are greeted by a top professional production with a well-thought-out light show built around the biggest hits. This is where you get to be a teenager again, stand up close and forget about everyday life for a while.

A journey back in time to the idol posters

For many, it's much more than a concert. It's a journey back in time to a time when MTV was playing in the background and the walls were covered in idol posters. The memories of girlfriends, teenage bedrooms and the first parties are hidden in the songs. When you hear them live on stage, they are automatically brought back to life.

The audience is not randomly chosen by fate. Lasse says that it is primarily women between the ages of 35 and 55 who show up. They are out with the girls and are going to have a great night, where the shared memories make the experience strong. You are part of a group that has a story together and a soundtrack that is still in your body.

Meet the band's "ballad boy"

Although the music is the focus, it's the personalities on stage that make the party come alive. Lasse doesn't hide his own role in the engine room: He's the band's self-proclaimed "funny guy" and troublemaker.

He's the one who provides the eye contact, the funny shoutouts and the direct connection to you down on the floor. The sound is allowed to have an edge, and the drums are allowed to rattle a little, because it has to feel real.

“We like it when there's a live drum kit that rattles a little, and a little more rock guitar on the set, without it getting too twisted,” explains Lasse.

The present and the shared energy

The contact with you as the audience is absolutely central to The Boyband. It's not a show that's just run through from start to finish. People look out into the hall, shout, point and drag people along. You can feel that energy throughout the room when several hundred people are standing and singing the same songs at the same time.

Over the course of seven years, the band has honed their concert and found exactly the songs that hit the hardest. Backstreet Boys is a firm foundation, but you'll also be taken through hits from Take That, Westlife, Five and NSYNC. It's a hit parade where each song is chosen because it makes the room lift.

Meet the band when the music stops

Recognizability is a big part of the magic. Lasse explains that it means a lot to people to hear something they can recognize themselves and their loved ones in. But the experience doesn't stop when the last song is played. The band places an incredibly high value on going straight down to the hall after the show to meet their audience. Here, selfies are taken and stories are shared from the time when idol posters hung in the room.

This is where Lasse feels what music does. He has seen fans almost cry with joy because they are taken back to a significant time in their lives. For Lasse and the rest of the band, these are the moments they live and breathe for.

"Going out and having that experience together, and not just sitting at home and experiencing it. That's what matters," he concludes.

On April 18, that feeling hits Aarhus when Stakladen fills with singing, laughter and old memories. It's an evening where you don't have to think about everyday life, but can just sing along and be the fan you've always been.
