On July 07, 2010 Dead by April played an acoustic show in Gävle during the event Sommarkväll på Nytorget. Other bands/artists that played at the event this day were Eric Gadd, Sanna Nielsen & Zillah & Totte. 

Info[]

Sommarkväll is an event held at Nytorget in Gävle during July every year. During Wednesdays every week bands and artists perform acoustic shows. New concept for 2010 was the part of the show called "Guests on the couch", which meant that the artists sat down to chat with the emcee  Linda Netsman on stage. [1]

Dead by April was announced to play at Sommarkväll on May 4, 2010. The show was played in broad daylight and later the same evening DBA played an electric show at Heartbreak Hotel.[2] This is one of the few times the band have played two shows during the same day. 

Alexander Svenningson did not participate during the show, but did attend the chat. Instead Zandro and Johan played guitar and Marcus played acoustic bass. Jimmie and Zandro shared the vocals. 

Dead by April lead off the entire event and the concert attracted a huge crowd. That also makes DBA the first band to play the newly renovated Nytorget. After the show the guys told Sverige Radio that they were satisfied with their concert and thought that Sommarkväll was a beautiful event [3]

Jimmie describe the show as a "very unusual show for Dead by April in front of a packed audience." [4]

Set list[]

Not much is know about what songs that was played. An 1:30 clip of Promise Me posted on Jimmie's blog is the only material that exists. It's safe to believe that Losing You was played, but we have no more than that, sadly.
