Anniversary Celebration // Vinterfestuka 2026

Espen Abrahamsen, known for his razor-sharp timing, quick wit, and fearless humor, will guide us through the evening from the stage.

The first band to take the stage is Melody Market, Norway’s safest bet when it’s time for a FÆst – with a capital F and Æ! The band covers the biggest hits from the past seven decades, reflecting the long history of Vinterfestuka.

The evening wraps up with the explosive duo Kickslip – consisting of drummer Baard Kolstad and DJ Boge – who blend house and club music with drums and live energy in a way that simply has to be experienced.

This is quite simply a night you don’t want to miss! The anniversary celebration will be a gathering point for the entire city – a place to meet familiar faces, reminisce, dance, and celebrate everything Vinterfestuka has been and still is.

It will be a party for the history books – a place to honor 70 years of Vinterfestuka, celebrate community, and put the new Lokstall1 to the test to see if it can truly handle some real rallar spirit!

– Seven decades. One party. All in.
