(June 5, 2025 – Los Angeles, CA) Today, multiplatinum chart–topping global pop powerhouse Zara Larsson kicks her boldest era yet into overdrive with the announcement of her heavily anticipated new album Midnight Sun, set for release on September 26, 2025.
Midnight Sun is available for pre-order HERE via Sommer House / Epic Records, alongside an exclusive run of merchandise and physical product. Items include limited edition signed CDs and autographed vinyl.
The ten-track album is set to feature recent single “Pretty Ugly” as well as brand-new single and title track “Midnight Sun,” which is set for release next Friday, June 13, 2025.
Created over the last year with frequent collaborator MNEK, alongside producers Margo XS and Zhone, as well as songwriter Helena Gao—Zara’s latest is a true tour-de-force, and her best work to-date. The album ripples with confidence, as it’s storytelling bursts with truth and vulnerability, plumbing the depth and growth of Zara’s artistry and journey over nearly 20 years in the public eye. It’s an album unafraid to show all sides of the 27-year-old: lovestruck, wistful, ambitious, cocky, flippant, and uncertain, often in the same breath. The story begins with “Midnight Sun,” the first song written for the album.
“In thinking about this album, I thought, ‘What do I want to say? What do I want this to be?’ I really am proud of my Swedish pop heritage, so I wanted to write about a Swedish summer where the sun never goes down,” says Zara. “I wanted the whole album to feel like it's a summer night and it never ends. And it doesn't matter if it's December: the summer night will be there for you. It's waiting for you, it will come back for you, and you will come back for it.”
Zara Larsson recently kicked off the new era with the confident and rowdy “Pretty Ugly,” alongside an incredible music video directed by Charlotte Rutherford (PinkPanthress, Charli XCX, Ashnniko), and choreographed by Zoi Tatopoulos (FKA Twigz)—fierce, feral, and completely unapologetic. Stream it HERE and watch the music video HERE.
With the news of Zara’s fourth international album, today the superstar announces her fall headlining European tour – the first official leg of her Midnight Sun Tour. The trek will kick off in Munich, Germany on October 28 at Zenith and will culminate in a hometown show at Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden on November 28. Tickets will go on sale to the public on June 13 at 10 am local time, while a special artist pre-sale begins on June 11 at 10 am local time. Fans can go HERE for further information on how to gain access. Fans in the UK, Ireland and Germany that pre-order the album via the zaralarssonofficial.com store can access the pre-sale 24 hours early, starting on June 10 at 10am local.
The European tour comes on the heels of Zara’s just-announced first-ever live dates in Australia and New Zealand for February 2026 with OneRepublic. Zara’s run of live shows in support of Midnight Sun officially kicks off with her opening slot on Tate McRae’s Miss Possessive Tour across North America, which begins on August 4th in Vancouver, BC, with stops along the way at major arenas like New York’s Madison Square Garden before culminated with back-to-back shows at The Forum in Los Angeles on September 26 and 27, in line with the album’s release.

Last year, she released her lauded album VENUS — a powerful showcase of her elevated sound, eclectic style, and unifying vision. Not to mention, her single “Symphony” with Clean Bandit repenetrated the culture with a boisterous meme moment that has helped the video achieve over 1.3 billion views, as the song topped the TikTok Billboard chart for several weeks. It’s kismet then that Midnight Sun channels the popstar at her most unfiltered and authentic. The album is her true essence, capturing lightening in a bottle in a way that only she can.
“It just feels like me—knowing myself, this album is just really, really me. And also,” says Zara, “No one can do me the way I can.”
