Overview
Sun Hill Production is the commonly used name of Sun Hill Production AB, a Swedish entertainment company established in 2009. Its activities span record-label operations, music publishing, filmed entertainment, physical and digital releases, live-event promotion, and artist-related management. The company has worked across several parts of the music value chain rather than operating solely as a conventional recording label: it has produced concert films, issued albums and archival recordings, supported touring projects, and promoted live events in Sweden. The company’s early work combined music and filmed entertainment. In 2010 and 2011, Sun Hill produced and released a three-disc DVD collection connected with Swedish musician, comedian, linguist, and songwriter Robert Broberg. The relationship also included production of Broberg’s seventieth-anniversary show for Swedish national television. The show was subsequently issued on CD and DVD in October 2011, with related music also made available through digital services. Sun Hill also produced Europe Live! At Shepherd’s Bush, London, a concert package by the Swedish rock band Europe. The project combined DVD and Blu-ray editions with the band’s first live CD. Filming involved performances in Stockholm and at Shepherd’s Bush in London, with the London concert serving as the principal performance. Released in June 2011, the title reached the top position on Sweden’s national sales chart, giving the company a notable commercial result in filmed music. Following the death of bassist and songwriter Marcel Jacob in 2009, Sun Hill became associated with the preservation and continuation of his musical legacy, particularly through releases connected with his band Talisman. Between 2012 and 2020, the label issued or reissued work by artists including Mark Spiro, Talisman, Glenn Hughes, Europe, Clif Magness, Brett Walker, Clockwise, Masquerade, Fortune, Southpaw, Coldspell, and Erika. Its Talisman catalogue activity included the band’s first four albums and later releases on CD and vinyl. In 2019, Sun Hill helped bring Humanimal, the project involving Jacob and Pontus Norgren, back to digital and CD formats. The company has also operated as a live-entertainment promoter. In 2013 it arranged Michael Schenker’s Temple of Rock tour in Sweden. The following year it arranged the first Stockholm Rocks festival, which presented a broad selection of hard-rock, metal, and related acts. Sun Hill additionally promoted the 2014 Wings Over Sweden tour, during which Europe performed its album Wings of Tomorrow in full alongside selected songs from elsewhere in its catalogue. Sun Hill’s work therefore sits at the intersection of independent music publishing, catalogue management, concert promotion, and audiovisual production. Its documented catalogue emphasizes Swedish rock, melodic hard rock, metal, and legacy projects, while its Robert Broberg work demonstrates a broader interest in nationally significant Swedish entertainment. Publicly available reference material does not establish a current executive roster, ownership structure, detailed financial profile, or confirmed present operating status.
History
Sun Hill Production AB was established in Sweden in 2009 and is generally presented publicly under the shorter name Sun Hill Production or Sun Hill. From the beginning, its remit covered more than standard label activity. The company described or demonstrated work in music production, recorded-music publishing, filmed entertainment, physical media, digital distribution, live entertainment, and management. Its first documented productions included a substantial collaboration with Robert Broberg, a prominent Swedish musician and entertainer. In 2010 and 2011, Sun Hill produced and released a three-disc DVD box set associated with Broberg. The collaboration extended to his seventieth-anniversary show, which was produced for Swedish national television. A CD and DVD edition of the show followed on October 26, 2011, and the music was also distributed digitally. Another important early project was Europe Live! At Shepherd’s Bush, London. Sun Hill produced the concert recording in several formats, including DVD, Blu-ray, and a live CD. Recording took place across performances in Stockholm and London, with the principal concert filmed at Shepherd’s Bush. The release appeared in June 2011 and reached number one on Sweden’s national sales chart. Sun Hill’s catalogue strategy later became closely linked to Swedish and international rock. After the death of Marcel Jacob, the company became a partner in maintaining and developing releases connected with his musical work and the band Talisman. During the period from 2012 through 2020, the label released or reissued albums by Mark Spiro and numerous rock acts, while also issuing Talisman’s first four albums and additional catalogue material on CD and vinyl. In 2019, Humanimal, the project associated with Jacob and Pontus Norgren, was re-released in digital and CD formats. The Talisman connection also led to a memorial recording. In December 2019 the band released Never Die, its first new song in twelve years, dedicated to Jacob. The release linked catalogue and artist-legacy work with a charitable purpose: proceeds were intended to support suicide awareness and mental-health initiatives in cooperation with Suicide Zero. Live promotion became another significant strand of the business. Sun Hill arranged Michael Schenker’s Temple of Rock tour in Sweden in 2013. In 2014 it arranged and promoted the first Stockholm Rocks festival in central Stockholm. The event’s bill included performers from hard rock, heavy metal, melodic rock, and related genres. That same year, Sun Hill promoted the Wings Over Sweden tour, on which Europe performed Wings of Tomorrow in full together with selected songs from its wider repertoire. The available reference material does not identify the company’s founder, current executives, ownership, financial results, or a confirmed current headquarters address beyond Sweden. It also does not document a formal dissolution or a later corporate reorganization. Sun Hill is consequently best understood from the available evidence as an independent Swedish entertainment and music company whose documented activities combine catalogue stewardship, audiovisual production, label services, and concert promotion.
