Swedish AOR-influenced hard rock band Nestor reveal the next single off the upcoming live album ‘Live at Gothenburg Film Studios‘ (out August 14th, 2026 via Napalm Records). The band brings the heat with a live rendition of their track ‘Firesign‘, originally from the 2021 debut album ‘Kids In A Ghost Town‘ (review here) that was nominated for a Swedish Hard Rock/Metal Grammis Award. Catchy riffs and rhythms carry the heavily ’80s-inspired, authentic sound that is topped with impressive rock vocals.
Nestor entered charts internationally with their 2024 studio offering ‘Teenage Rebel‘ (review here)(including #12 on Official German Album Charts and #19 in Sweden), and the band has played to ecstatic live audiences from Europe to the US and Japan. With ‘Live at Gothenburg Film Studios‘ fans around the world finally get to experience Nestor‘s exciting live energy also on record. ‘Firesign‘ arrives with a striking live video, offering another taste of even the special Blu-ray edition that will be included in one of the album formats. Check it out below and make sure to pre-order your copy!
Vocalist Tobias Gustavsson comments:
”Where the flames meet the sky! ‘Firesign‘ is always a highlight when we play it live and it has some kind of energy that is hard to put your finger on. Turn it up – break the rules and follow the Firesign wherever it leads.”

‘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 nostalgia-drenched 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).
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!
Vocalist Tobias Gustavsson comments:
“When I listen to ‘Live at Gothenburg Film Studios‘ it becomes clear to me that it shows everything that Nestor was about, from the beginning. A live performance with all the little quirks and mistakes that makes it human, a thing that I have learned to love even more in an era of AI generated music. ‘Live at Gothenburg Film Studios‘ is less clinical and more of a human experience in comparison to our studio albums and shows a different side of Nestor. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did recording it up on stage.”
