Tages 2 (commonly referred to as LP 2 or just 2) is the second studio album by the Swedish rock band Tages, released on 4 August 1966 by Platina Records.[2] Often considered their artistic breakthrough, six out of twelve tracks are original compositions.

The album was recorded and released during a tense moment for the group, where drummer Freddie Skantze was just about to leave the group; he was briefly replaced by Tommy "TT" Tausis, who plays on four tracks on the album. Tages 2 would be the final albums for Skantze as he left following the recording, and Tausis would go on to play on Extra Extra before leaving towards the end of 1966. Both were replaced by drummer Lasse Svensson.[3]

Just like its predecessor Tages, it was issued in 6000 copies, and sold over 10000, becoming their second and last album certified in Sweden. Tages 2 yielded three singles of which two charted.[4][5] The album itself did not chart on Kvällstoppen.
