Emmon is the solo project of Swedish artist Emma Nylén, blending electro, synthpop, and EBM.

Emmon continues to push electronic music boundaries with her unique style and powerful performances.
We are very happy to welcome Henric de la Cour to the second Shadowplay Festival!
Henric de la Cour’s new album “My Bones, Your Ashes” has already been hailed as one of the very best of the year, and the subsequent tour — bathed in crystal-white backlight and dancing shadows — has captivated large, spellbound audiences across the country.
During the seven years that passed between his previous and new album, Henric de la Cour has undergone deep self-reflection and emerged on the other side in a somewhat new guise. Still present is everything fans have loved since first encountering the now-legendary singer during Yvonne’s breakthrough in the ’90s — grandeur, desperation, and pop music teetering right on the edge between the darkest indie and the most delicate synth.
