Olavsfest with Bigbang and Darling West

An annual values-based cultural and music festival held in and around Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway, featuring a diverse program of concerts, talks, and family-friendly events.

Formed in Oslo in 1992, Bigbang is a beloved Norwegian rock band led by singer and guitarist Øystein Greni. Known for electrifying live shows, they broke through with the 2000 hit single Girl from Oslo and the album Clouds Rolling By. Blending classic rock, soul, and punk, the trio has released acclaimed albums like Radio Radio TV Sleep and Edendale, remaining a defining force in Norwegian music for over three decades.

Led by Mari and Tor Egil Kreken, the folk duo Darling West returned to their stripped-down acoustic roots on the minimalist release Woods. Featuring contributions from Thomas Gallatin, Christer Slaaen, and Håkon Aase, the album explores relationships and nature.
