History

Dansband music originated in Sweden and became popular in the Nordic countries during the late 1960s and 1970s. It evolved from the traditional dance hall music and was heavily influenced by rock and pop music of the time. The genre gained massive popularity in the 1970s and 1980s, with bands performing at dance venues known as 'dansbandsställen.' Over the years, it has maintained its popularity, particularly in Sweden, and has seen a resurgence with modern influences.
