About the event

From the organiser, as published on Ticketmaster.

15 years on from the mega-hit: Wafande invites all of Denmark to a jubilee celebration in 2026 The 15th anniversary of the massive summer hit, "Give Me A Smile", which got all of Denmark smiling, is now being marked with a nationwide tour in 2026 - filled with nostalgia, presence and a huge celebration in the best Wafande style. In 2011 Wafande broke through and got Denmark smiling and dancing with the year's ultimate summer hit, "Give Me A Smile".

The song was the starting gun for a breakthrough that truly established him in the hearts of Danish people and confirmed him as one of the country's most charismatic and beloved artists. Much has happened from then until now.

There have been times of success and times of setback, but what they all have in common has always been optimism. Today Wafande stands with a long list of hits under his belt, his own record label "Kingsville Records" and newly found traction on amongst others TikTok, where he frequently collaborates with other artists.

And now the anniversary of the hit that started it all is being celebrated with a large nationwide tour, where audiences can relive the warmth, joy and togetherness that made it a soundtrack for an entire generation. "It's incredible to think that 'Give Me A Smile' is turning 15. That song changed my life and gave me a connection with audiences that I still feel every single time I step on stage.

This tour will be a huge celebration of the energy, love and togetherness we created together and I'm looking forward with all my heart to sharing the celebration with all of Denmark again." - Wafande With his band backing him, Wafande is known as one of the country's absolutely strongest entertainers. No two concerts are the same, improvisation is alive, and the energy is contagious.

One thing is however always certain: there is a guarantee of a huge party, and maybe Black Dylan will even stop by. The jubilee tour will be a big celebration of the music, the memories and the positive life energy that started with "Give Me A Smile", and which can still bring audiences together across the country.
