A dark February Tuesday evening in Oslo is not an easy day to fill up a venue, especially that most days of the first few months of this year have been filled with fantastic events in Oslo. Yet, the Swedes in Soen and the two support acts managed a very nice crowd at Rockefeller and…
POWERHOUSE Anmeldt av Roger Hagerupsen BYSCENEN 14/2 – 2026 TRONDHEIM Bak det litt merkelige navnet POWERHOUSE skulle det vise seg at det var hele fire band som skulle til pers denne iskalde februarkvelden.

Full photo gallery: Photos: Jonathan Mazin Text: Andrea Chirulescu Few hours before the concert in Oslo, a work colleague asked what kind of concert I’m going to and I ‘uhmmmm’ed several times and realized I have no clue.

DJEVEL Anmeldt av Roger Hagerupsen LANGHUSET -HAVET 08.11.2025 TRONDHEIM Følelsen når en gikk inn på LANGHUSET denne mørke lørdagskvelden i November for å bevitne det som helt sikkert er DJEVEL sin siste konsert i Trondheim var mildt sagt surrealistisk. En (u)salig blanding av sortkledde folk klar for konsert kombinert med halvnakne folk klar for sauna.…
Photo gallries: Photos by Jonathan Mazin Text by Andrea Chirulescu Mid November in Oslo, there’s no better time of the year to attend a gig with a Swedish combo that delivers dark, melancholic metal – Katatonia and Evergrey.

GLENN HUGHES BYSCENEN 28/9 -2025 TRONDHEIM Anmeldt av: Roger Hagerupsen Jeg har registrert at det blant mange har vært litt forvirring opp mot denne konserten om hva GLENN HUGHES skulle spille denne kvelden.
