Swedish AOR-influenced hard rockers NESTOR capture their thrilling live energy on record for the first time with Live at Gothenburg Film Studios, out August 14, 2026 via Napalm Records! Originally formed back in 1989, the band took the international rock scene by storm with their comeback and new music releases in 2021, unleashing the debut album Kids in a ghost town (earning a Swedish Hard Rock/Metal Grammis nomination!). Since then, NESTOR has entered several charts internationally (incl. #12 on Official German Album Charts and #19 in Sweden), with the critically acclaimed following album Teenage Rebel (2024) and gathered millions of streams on several of their hits. The band has won over live audiences around the world, from huge European festivals to the Monsters Of Rock Cruise in the US and headline shows in Japan, and shared stages with legends like Kiss and Europe.

 

NESTOR now showcases their nostalgic, 80's-inspired melodic anthems in a new light — infused with their signature, radiant live presence. Live at Gothenburg Film Studios treats fans old and new to a hefty selection of live versions of future classics from NESTOR's celebrated catalogue. The band brings the heat with a new rendition of their track "Firesign" (originally from Kids in a ghost town, 2021) - catchy riffs and rhythms carry the heavily 80s-inspired, authentic sound that is topped with impressive rock vocals. The nostalgia-drenched following track "Teenage Rebel" (title track of the latest studio album, 2024) gets audiences singing along without a failure with its irresistible chorus that is accompanied with emotion-loaded melodies and massive riffs. Further highlights of this extensive, 16-track offering include a live rendition of one of the biggest NESTOR hits to date, "On The Run" (also from the praised debut Kids in a ghost town, 2021), featuring epic, AOR-inspired keys and guitars, and another one of the band's possibly catchiest singalong-choruses so far. This comprehensive live album, available even as a DVD, draws from NESTOR's impressive repertoire of arena-worthy anthems and rock ballads, polished with the very best AOR and classic 80s rock influences. Without a doubt, NESTOR continue their steady mission to restore the glory of rock!
