Robert Post
Robert Post, from Langevåg in Sunnmøre, debuted in 2005 with his self-titled album, for which he received two
Spellemann Awards. The album’s first single, Got None, went straight to the top in Italy and also achieved high chart
positions in the United Kingdom, France and Norway.
In 2026, Robert Post is set to release two studio albums “…That Magnificent Distraction” and “Beside My Heart”, one double album with 20 tracks of melodic, guitar-driven pop/rock produced by Lars Voldsdal (Madrugada, Hellbillies) and a self- produced, stripped-down and home-recorded folk album.
The music is described as sophisticated, atmospheric and catchy pop/rock with timeless melodies — as if you mixed
Sgt. Pepper–era Beatles with the charm of Rufus Wainwright, a touch of Bob Dylan and a dash of Neil Young.
After several years away from touring and recording, Robert Post has performed 80 of his own concerts in Norway and has toured as bassist and backing vocalist for Thom Hell for the past three years. In autumn 2022, the first single Heart On Your Sleeve was released, followed by What Has Become Of Me? in April 2025.
Songleikr
Songleikr is a musical project rooted in a profound love for Nordic folk traditions, blending ancient storytelling with original compositions to celebrate community and live performance. Their sound is defined by soaring harmonies and progressive rhythms, shifting seamlessly between raw, dancing energy and moments of quiet, lyrical warmth.
The project began two decades ago at a Viking festival, where founders Maria Franz and Ingrid Galadriel Aune Falch bonded over a shared joy for percussion and oral history. This evolved into Songleikr—an Old Norse term for “song play”—which captures the band’s unpretentious and playful approach to music as a unifying force. Following the success of their debut album, Godtfolk, which earned a global following for its lively reimagining of Scandinavian heritage, the group has expanded its creative core to include Kasia Sikora-Black.
Now performing as a five-piece ensemble, Songleikr is set to release their latest album, Fuglefolk, in February 2026. Their carefully curated live sets weave together new material with established favourites, creating an atmospheric experience that is both historical and contemporary. As they embark on an exclusive European tour, the group continues to invite every listener into their narrative through a sophisticated yet earthy musical style.
8lanco
At just 22, Bergen-based artist 8lanco is rapidly emerging as one of the most compelling new voices in Nordic pop. With a fast-growing international fanbase, strong industry backing, and a wave of critical acclaim, he is quickly transitioning from promising newcomer to a fully realized global artist.
In 2025, 8lanco was featured on NRK P3 (Biggest radio in Norway) Urørt’s “Artists to Watch”, highlighting him as one of Norway’s most exciting breakthrough prospects. His last EP Hills’n Back received widespread praise from major outlets across Europe, Latin America, and Africa, with critics calling it a “genre-shattering triumph,” “indie pop masterpiece, ” and a “magnetic, fearless breakthrough.
On stage, 8lanco has proven himself a captivating live performer. Earlier this year he launched his first national tour in Norway, culminating in a sold-out headline debut in Oslo. The show marked a turning point, delivering a high-energy and emotionally charged performance that cemented his reputation as one of Norway’s most exciting rising acts.
LEAH
Established in 2022, LEAH is a jazz-pop ensemble that has rapidly carved out a niche with their vibrant and infectious sound. Following the release of their debut album, Zzz, and more than 40 concerts across Norway, the band has refined a style rooted in the “retro pop” of previous generations. Their songwriting explores the complexities of young adulthood, blending humour and heart with stories of life’s inevitable mishaps.
The band is distinguished by Leah Engevold’s intelligent compositions and sophisticated arrangements, which possess a rare sense of energy, playfulness, and warmth. Renowned for their live performances, LEAH delivers a powerful collective experience marked by exceptional musicianship and vocal prowess. Their music is life-affirming and high-energy, often eliciting an uninhibited response from audiences. Critics have noted that while their recordings are accomplished, the full breadth of their talent is best experienced live, where their presence is described as restorative and truly exhilarating. LEAH represents a refreshing addition to the contemporary scene, bringing a sophisticated yet joyous atmosphere to every stage they grace.
