Known for their rock and roll attitude since 2002, Mando Diao continue to release platinum and gold certified albums that have sold millions of copies worldwide. Always searching for inspiration, the unexpected switch from energetic rock to poetic Swedish albums was a culture phenomenon. In their career they have played thousands of concerts in more than 30 countries and have headlined major festivals throughout the world. Their videos have gone viral with tens of millions of views on YouTube. They have released both a B-side and Greatest Hits collections and even an MTV Unplugged album. Many of their contemporary bands have come and gone but MANDO DIAO has continued to reach new heights and re-define popular music. MANDO DIAO is known for its classic rock and roll sound. For them music is a craftwork as they each play several instruments, are producers and songwriters. They started their career drawing heavy influences from rhythm and blues, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Kinks. As they developed they took in more pop and dance themes, but have always maintained the energy and attitude of early rock and roll paired with Björn's unmistakable soulful voice. Constant touring with their energetic performances has established MANDO DIAO as an international headliner.
