tAKiDA on their new single: “It’s about a man and his true love from the past. All he wants is to get clean from his sex addiction and just focus on the two of them, but it’s too strong. There’re too many temptations out there and ultimately, he’ll be ending up alone.”
Ever since their start in 1999 and breaking onto the scene with their first album, tAKiDA have become one of Sweden’s biggest exports, ruling the Swedish rock scene with six platinum singles (one of them 4x platinum), three platinum albums and no less than five #1 albums. But tAKiDA are also making waves beyond the borders of their home country! Their most recent studio album, The agony flame (2024), marks their most successful entry onto the German album charts (#8) yet, while the album’s first single, ‘The loneliest hour’, hit #1 on the German Rock Airplay Charts.
Following their previous successes, tAKiDA continue to push boundaries and solidify their acclaim. With ‘The Game’, tAKiDA kick off the new year and dive deep into themes of passion, inner conflict, and unfiltered emotion, perfectly showcased through its evocative lyrics and explosive sound. In summer 2025, tAKiDA will bring their matchless stage performance to several German cities, starting on 18th July in Regensburg.
