Stein Torleif Bjella – Live 2025
After a fabulous success in this year's Every Time We Meet, Stein Torleif Bjella and his incomparable band have filled cultural centers and venues all over the country. And it doesn't stop there! The tour continues well into the fall of 2025.
This winter's tour has been a huge success, with over 15,000 tickets sold, including two sold-out concerts at the Oslo Opera House. Audiences and critics alike have been unanimous in their enthusiasm – the last six months have simply been a real boom for the singer from Ål.
On this tour, both loyal and brand new fans have been able to experience a new side of Bjella. The concerts offer both classics and new interpretations of his own and others' songs, which elevates his musical universe to new heights. As always, Bjella combines the thoughtful with the heartwarming - the concerts touch both the heart and the dance floor. And yes, as is tradition, a fruit basket is raffled off at each venue. Along with him on the road, Bjella has his regular and talented band consisting of Geir Sundstøl (guitar), Eirik Øien (bass), Kenneth Kapstad (drums) and David Wallumrød (keyboards). Together they ensure an unforgettable concert experience.
About Stein Torleif BjellaStein Torleif Bjella had his breakthrough with the critically acclaimed solo album Heidersmenn in 2009. Since then, he has released several award-winning and Spellemann-nominated albums, including Vonde visu (Spellemann Prize winner), Heim for å døy, Gode Liv, Øvre-Ål Toneakademi and Nysetmåne. He has also collaborated with the Norwegian Broadcasting Orchestra, released a spoken word album, and received awards such as the Edvard Prize and the Prøysen Prize.
Bjella's music is characterized by poetic, down-to-earth lyrics and a unique ability to reach both rural and urban people. With songs such as "Romantikken gjer meg sjuk", "Psykisk kan du vera sjøl", "Heidersmann" and "Tilbake i det blå", he has written himself into the Norwegian song tradition as one of the most important voices of our time. In addition to music, Bjella is a recognized author, with the poetry collection Jordsjukantologien Nr. 1 and the novel Fiskehuset, which won the Nynorsk Literature Prize and was nominated for the P2-lytternes Novel Prize. Bjella's music has also inspired theater productions, such as Kan nokon gripe inn and Heil ved, the latter still in the repertoire at Det Norske Teatret. Stein Torleif Bjella – Live 2025 promises more concerts, more stories and more fruit baskets.

How thin, long and difficult is it possible to turn wood? Vidar Iversen shows, through his objects and sculptures in wood, that little is impossible when he uncompromisingly follows an idea - and at the same time masters the craft. The exhibition opens at the same time as the Wooden Boat Festival, and makes Galleri Kunstparken even more relevant for wood lovers.

If safety is not found at home or out there, where do you go?
"Word for blood" is a true story, an inside report from the little sister of Sweden's most dangerous gang leader. It is a painful and honest story about being human and female and ending up in the middle of a deadly gang showdown - in a world where adults are not present. Faysa's closest friends and family members are on opposite sides of the gang war. She no longer has a record of how many she has lost. Now she tells her story.
The National Theatre and the Norwegian Theatre are creating a play based on Faysa Idle's hotly-anticipated book, "A Word for Blood". Her story concerns us all, regardless of who we are or where we live. Perhaps Faysa's story can open up conversations about how we can create a society where we take better care of each other?
--Said about the book:
"Faysa Idle tells her story powerfully and honestly
Business News
"A story that tears at the heart and gives you chills"
Gyldendal Norwegian Publishing House
--Performance length: 1 hour 20 minutes (no intermission).
