by:Larm invites international acts to play for first time in its 18 year history
The internationally renowned Nordic music showcase is shaking up its long-standing m.o. - for the first time in its 18 year history, the Oslo-based music conference/festival will invite international acts to play. That is, not artists from the Scandinavian zone.
The festivals' Joakim Haugland explains part of the reasoning behind the change: "With more international attendees, we’ll have their focus entirely on Norwegian and Nordic music for four days. That will be guaranteed to benefit the Nordic music industry in the long term."
East India Youth, Deers and SOAK will be the first bands to perform at the event from outside of Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden or Finland. There will be 15 in total, with over 100 coming from the home nations.
The full line-up so far includes Samaris, Karin Park, Vulkano, Rytmeklubben and many more than you can discover here.
