Allan Olsen & Det Sidste Slæng (DK)
Allan Olsen performs with Det Sidste Slæng in Copenhagen.
Allan Olsen & Det Sidste Slæng is the new band project of north Jutland singer-songwriter Allan Olsen (born 1956), one of Denmark's most distinctive musical voices since his solo debut in 1989. The five-piece band - featuring Jesper Haugaard on bass, Mads Andersen on drums, Rune Kjeldsen and Anders Pedersen on guitars, and Dan Hemmer on organ - was assembled for a 2026 autumn tour that Olsen has suggested may be his last with a full band. The set draws on decades of material spanning rock, roots and lyrical folk in his unmistakable north Jutlandic storytelling style.
Allan Olsen announced in December 2025 the new band project Allan Olsen & Det Sidste Slæng and an autumn tour in 2026, which potentially will be his last in full band setup.
The band consists of five experienced musicians: Jesper Haugaard (bass/double bass), Mads Andersen (drums), Rune Kjeldsen (guitar), Anders Pedersen (guitar/lap steel/mandolin) and Dan Hemmer (organ/keyboards).
The tour features both standing and seated concerts, and in Aalborg, Aarhus and Copenhagen, Olsen plays both formats.
