Zara Larsson: Get To Know The Movin’ On 2026 Headliner

We are under a week away from Swedish pop singer and songwriter Zara Larsson taking the stage to headline Movin’ On 2026. While the floral phenom has recently burst into the mainstream following her hit song “Midnight Sun” and viral collaboration with PinkPantheress on a remix of Pink’s “Stateside”, she has been honing her craft long before 2026. Let’s take a deeper look into the 28-year-old and the expansive discography she’ll be performing live from the IM Fields on May 1st. 

Larsson first received major recognition after winning the 2008 rendition of Talang, a Swedish talent show. As an artist, she delivered her first EP “Uncover” in 2012, and her first studio album with “So Good” in 2017, which included global hits such as “Lush Life”, “Never Forget You feat. MNEK”, “Ain’t My Fault”, and “Symphony” with Clean Bandit. Larsson followed that up with her albums “Poster Girl,” “Venus,” and, of course, “Midnight Sun,” which was released in September of 2025. Her title track, “Midnight Sun,” earned Larsson her first Grammy Award nomination while earning over 235,000,000 streams on Spotify. Additionally, her nostalgia-evoking catalog proved true as “Lush Life” re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this year. 

As Larsson rides her wave of momentum into Summer 2026, she announced the upcoming release of “Midnight Sun: Girls Trip”, a remix album of the original 10 tracks, while showcasing a fresh, all-female feature list. After being brought out by PinkPantheress at Coachella this past weekend, Larsson took to her Instagram to seemingly confirm that the British pop singer will appear on “Girls Trip,” saying, “Thank you my queen @pinkpantheress for having me on stage! I love the version of midnight sun that you made and I can’t wait for the world to hear your verse on may 1st.” Larsson’s promotional rollout on Instagram has sparked massive speculation among fans about who else will join PinkPantheress on the project. As if her virality wasn’t already being felt enough, Larsson teamed up with fellow international pop-girlie Tyla for a pre-Summer single titled “SHE DID IT AGAIN,” which was released on April 17th. 

Coincidentally, the release of “Girls Trip” falls on the same day as her Movin’ On headline performance. Lucky us! But Penn State isn’t the only place Larsson is set to perform. The pop star has over two dozen shows scheduled across the globe over the next few months, a testament to her newfound demand as an authentic force in the industry. It's clear, she’s here to stay.
