Midnight Sun Songwriting Camp 2026
Published: 24 Apr 2026
Set against the bright nights of the northern summer, Musikmakarna – Songwriters Academy of Sweden opens its doors for the very first edition of the Midnight Sun Songwriting Camp.
From June 11–13 in Örnsköldsvik, songwriters and producers from around the world will gather in one of Sweden’s most established creative environments — a place where careers have taken shape and songs connected to artists like Zara Larsson, Avicii, Tove Lo and Benjamin Ingrosso have come to life.
For three days, these same studios become a meeting point for new ideas, new collaborations, and new opportunities.
A Creative Environment Built for Collaboration
The ambition is clear: to create one of the most impactful songwriting environments of its kind.
With up to 160 carefully selected participants, every detail of the camp is designed to foster meaningful collaboration. Teams are thoughtfully curated to bring together complementary skills, diverse backgrounds, and strong creative chemistry — giving every session the best possible conditions to result in songs that matter.
This is a space where emerging talent meets experienced professionals. Where ideas move quickly, and where the right collaboration can extend far beyond the camp itself.
Whether you are at the beginning of your journey or already working in the industry, you will step into:
- An international network of high-level collaborators
- A focused, studio-driven writing environment
- Carefully curated teams designed for both inspiration and output
- A setting where new connections can evolve into long-term creative relationships
