Festivals in Norwegen

Die große Bühne für Klang, Kulinarik und Kultur

Gemeinsam erlebt, wird gute Kunst manchmal noch besser. Die norwegische Kulturszene wächst wie verrückt, nicht zuletzt auch dank der vielen Musik- und Filmfestivals.

In Norwegen gibt es über 900 Festivals für Musik, Kulinarik, Sport, Film, Theater, Literatur, Geschichte und vieles mehr.

Zwar ist der Sommer zweifellos die Hauptsaison für Festivals, doch es steigen zu jeder Jahreszeit im ganzen Land zahlreiche spannende Veranstaltungen.

Auf den unzähligen Musikfestivals hören Sie sowohl populäre Genres wie Jazz, Blues und zeitgenössische Musik als auch Nischenfestivals mit eher experimenteller Musik. Die erstklassige Festivalszene in Norwegen kann locker mit den großen Festivals in Europa mithalten.

Wollen Sie wissen, welche Festivals während Ihrer Norwegen-Reise stattfinden? Dann werfen Sie einen Blick auf den Eventkalender!

Das sollten Sie einpacken:

Bei Festivals in Norwegen können Ihnen alle vier Jahreszeiten an einem Tag passieren, deshalb wird dringend empfohlen, funktionelle Kleidung einzupacken. Hier finden Sie eine Liste mit praktischen Tipps:

Mehrere Schichten: Da die Temperaturen variieren können, sollten Sie mehrere Schichten anhaben um diese bei Bedarf an und -ausziehen zu können. Leichte Wollstoffe sind auch im Sommer empfehlenswert.

Regenschutz/Poncho: Hält Sie trocken an einem regnerischen Tag.

Gummistiefel: Bei starkem Regen sollten Sie ihre Sneakers oder Converse besser gegen Gummistiefel tauschen um keine nassen Füße zu bekommen.

Insektenspray: Bereiten Sie sich auf Gelsen vor.

Sonnenbrille: Damit Sie nicht blinzelnd zur Bühne schauen müssen.

Sonnencreme: Schützen Sie Ihre Haut in der Sonne.

Power Bank: Das Aufladen Ihres Handys ist manchmal nicht so einfach auf einem Festival. Bringen Sie besser ein mobiles Ladegerät mit.

Ohrstöpsel: Für den Fall, dass Sie Ihren Ohren eine Pause gönnen möchten.

Lassen Sie Ihre Wertgegenstände besser zu Hause.

Black Metal und Jazz

Norwegen ist in vielerlei Hinsicht ein Land der Extreme, also ist es vielleicht kein Zufall, dass zu den populären Genres seit Jahrzehnten Black Metal und Jazz gehören. Das Land gilt sogar als Heimat des Black Metal – und für Freunde dieser Musikrichtung gibt es keinen besseren Ort als das Inferno-Festival, das jedes Jahr zu Ostern in Oslo steigt. Internationale Jazzfestivals finden unter anderem in Bergen, Molde, Kongsberg, Haugesund, Oslo und Lillehammer statt.

Apropos Extreme: Jedes Jahr können Sie in Voss das Ekstremsportveko erleben – das größte Extremsportfestival dieser Art – und dabei auch Live-Musik genießen. Und verpassen Sie im April keinesfalls das Jazzfestival Vossajazz.

Jazz und Blues

Erleben Sie Europas ältestes jährliches Jazz Festival in Molde und viele weitere spannende Events.

    Gamle Vossebanen - veterantog med damplokomotiv og spisevogn - 2. august 2026

    That makes perfect sense! No problem at all. Here is the translation: Take a journey back in time to the golden age of railways, to a time of uniform buttons with the royal coat of arms, the sound of wooden carriage doors slamming shut, and the locomotive whistle saying "all aboard" and the train can go. Relax and enjoy a wonderful Sunday excursion while the landscape rolls past the train windows. The trip is run with a steam locomotive and teak carriages from the 1920s and 30s. Along the way you can experience a beautiful landscape and impressive engineering, close to lakes and water on one side, and steep mountain slopes on the other. Garnes stasjon is Museet Gamle Vossebanen's main station and two of the train trips start from here. The trip from Midttun will have a longer stop at Garnes. Garnes stasjon has its own museum exhibition, station kiosk, souvenir shop, and otherwise a fine opportunity to look at locomotives and carriages in the station area. On this day we also have a visit from a professional trio – Boggien Dampjazzband – who play light music in the carriages throughout the day. First round trip with arrival no later than 10:45. Departure Garnes 11:00. The trip goes to Midttun and returns to Garnes at 13:00. Second round trip with arrival no later than 11:55. Departure Midttun 12:10. The trip goes to Garnes and returns to Midttun at 15:05. Third round trip with arrival no later than 14:00. Departure Garnes 14:15. The trip goes to Midttun and returns to Garnes at 16:15. The dining car is polished to perfection with real porcelain, white tablecloths, a chef, maître d' and waiters. Let yourself be tempted by food made on board the train, to buy tickets for a train trip (approximately two hours), and reserve a seat in the dining car (approximately one hour) for a wonderful meal on the train. Reserving a seat in the dining car must be done in addition to purchasing a ticket: https://njk.no/opplevelser/spisevogn/spisevognbestilling Please note: For gluten-free and vegan dishes this must be stated as a comment in the table reservation form.

    30 Jahre voller Musik, Menschen und Magie Ein Perlenjubiläum – so nennen wir es, wenn wir drei Jahrzehnte voller Tanz, Lachen, engagierter Helfer, Applaus und unvergesslicher musikalischer Momente feiern, die unsere Stadt geprägt und uns bereichert haben. Von den ersten Klängen des damaligen Arendal Jazz- und Bluesfestivals bis hin zum heutigen Canal Street, wie wir es kennen – mit Konzerten auf dem Arendaler Friedhof, Strømsbo Gård, Teaterplassen, Poppes Plass, Sam Eydes Plass, im Kulturhaus und dem Barnestreet auf dem Kanalplassen – ist Canal Street seit jeher der Treffpunkt für alles, was wir am südnorwegischen Sommer lieben. Herzlich Willkommen zum Canal Street Festival in Woche 30! Lass uns zusammenkommen für die Musik. Für die Stadt. Für einander. Etwa 40-50 Musiker und Bands treten auf dem Festival auf. Auch wenn Jazz traditioneller Weise gut repräsentiert ist, kann man hier Musik aus den meisten Genres hören. Zusätzlich zu den besten norwegischen Musikern, konnte man im Laufe der Jahre auch internationale Stars wie Bob Geldof, Lauren Hill, Joss Stone, Waterboys, Gary Moore, Solomon Burke, Melody Gardot, Angélique Kidjo und andere auf der Szene erleben.
