Six Street Performances in One Day: A Grounded Tour for Mental Health
Manon Lamartine, a 30-year-old artist who began captiving audiences on TikTok with stripped-back interpretations, is taking a new, more personal path with her latest EP. After the 2022 release of Frö, she now presents Inget är för evigt, a collection aimed at lifting the conversation around mental health. Beyond music, Lamartine also works part-time as a psychologist, giving her a unique lens on the issues she sings about and a deep well of experiences with people living with mental health challenges.
The Record-Breaking Tour: Six Gigs in Ten Hours
On Friday, the Södertälje-born artist launches a tour that aims to break expectations and raise awareness for mental health. She will perform six times around Stockholm in just ten hours, choosing the street as her stage to keep the performances intimate and accessible. The concert series is designed not only to showcase new music but also to spotlight the importance of mental health care and support networks.
Lamartine will be accompanied by a rotating lineup of guest performers, including Elin Wigh, Anji, Julia Lov, Klara Tuva and Charlie South. “I don’t have a clear goal,” she says. “But I hope to raise as much money as possible.” The aim is to draw attention to Mind, an organization that works to address mental health issues and provide resources to those in need.
Street-Stage, Not a Big Scene
Rather than a traditional venue, Lamartine will perform on some of Stockholm’s favorite pedestrian routes, moving through venues such as Medborgarplatsen, Slussen and Odenplan. The approach is deliberately earthbound and inclusive—playing on the sidewalk where people live, work, and pass by. She wants the shows to feel natural and approachable, a reminder that powerful music and important messages don’t require a stadium to be heard.
“It’s very grounded, on the street where people are,” she explains. The format gives fans a chance to interact with the music in real time and to reflect on the themes of resilience and hope that permeate Inget är för evigt.
Mission-Driven Music: A Message About Mental Health
The EP Inget är för evigt translates to Nothing is Forever, underscoring the central idea that painful emotions pass and healing is possible. Lamartine has lived this truth both personally and professionally; her work as a psychologist informs her songwriting, grounding the project in lived experience rather than theory alone. The performances serve a dual purpose: to share music that speaks to mental health and to normalize the everyday conversations that too often go untold.
What to Expect on the Ground
Fans in Stockholm can expect an unvarnished audience experience—raw voices, acoustic arrangements, and a sense of community around a cause that matters. The event is not just about listening; it’s about standing together and supporting Mind’s efforts to provide resources, reduce stigma, and improve access to care for people navigating mental health challenges.
A Gathering That Extends Beyond the Music
Lamartine’s project demonstrates how art and advocacy can intersect in everyday space. By turning city streets into a living room for music and conversation, she invites a broad audience to engage with her art and with the realities of mental health in a non-clinical setting. The hope is simple: if the songs touch a listener and the fundraiser sparks generosity, small moments in one day can contribute to meaningful change over time.
Final Note from the Artist
As she takes to Stockholm’s streets, the 30-year-old artist is excited about the intimate setting and the potential for genuine connection. She sees the day as a chance to bridge her two worlds—the stage and the consulting room—into something that elevates both the music and the message. Fans can follow the day’s progress and contribute to Mind, turning six performances into six meaningful steps toward greater mental health awareness.
