Zara Larsson Enlists Shakira, PinkPantheress & More for ‘Midnight Sun’ Deluxe: ‘Summer Is Gonna Be Madness’

The anticipation for Zara Larsson’s upcoming tour is reaching new heights. The Swedish pop sensation has officially raised the stakes for the deluxe edition of her acclaimed album, Midnight Sun, by unveiling an impressive lineup of collaborators joining her for the Girls Trip release.

On Wednesday, April 22, just days after announcing that Midnight Sun: Girls Trip would arrive this May, Larsson shared a reveal video introducing the heavy-hitting roster of artists featured on the project. Fans can look forward to appearances from pop luminaries including Shakira, PinkPantheress, and Robyn. The star-studded tracklist is further bolstered by a diverse array of talent, such as Tyla, Kehlani, JT, Madison Beer, BAMBII, Margo XS, Emilia, Malibu, and the duo Eli and Helena Gao.

The announcement clip captured Larsson in a playful, candid mood at a gas station, selecting commemorative keychains customized with the names of her collaborators. Expressing her enthusiasm on social media, she noted, “I’m beyond honored and thrilled for this. And truthfully, this is only the beginning. This summer is going to be absolutely electric.”

Midnight Sun: Girls Trip is set to drop on May 1, capitalizing on the momentum of Larsson’s fifth studio album. Her recent success has been bolstered by the massive popularity of “Stateside,” her collaboration with PinkPantheress, which climbed to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 this past March—marking a career milestone for Larsson.

Beyond the music, Larsson continues to collect accolades. She is scheduled to receive the Breakthrough Award at this year’s Billboard Women in Music ceremony on April 29. Reflecting on this honor, she told Billboard, “Finding myself back on the charts after a decade in the industry is incredibly validating. It’s a powerful reminder that perseverance truly pays off, and I feel like I’m reaching new heights more than ever before.”
