Midsummer Festival at Norsk Folkemuseum

Few artists manage to capture the poetry of everyday life quite like Odd Nordstoga, without it ever feeling cliché or pretentious. He sings about the forests, the autumn, the longing for summer, and the days that came and went. He makes us want to dance (even if we don’t know how) and sing along at the top of our lungs about his famous singing pig ("Frisken").

There is never any doubt that this man lives to perform for his audience. It is no wonder that people all over the country have taken him to their hearts, for both everyday celebrations and major festivities. A concert with Odd Nordstoga feels like a pure energy boost—whether he performs solo, with a full band, with musical guests, or with a string orchestra.

Odd is a true national provider of high-quality music, and when he hits the road, he brings a bag packed with both his classic hits and brand-new songs.

Amund Zimmermann writes everything from dreamy, sentimental ballads to upbeat pop-rock songs, giving his concerts an exciting and dynamic progression. Storytelling is at the very core of this 24-year-old’s artistry, which is clearly reflected in both his lyrics and his performances.

In the summer of 2022, the Sandefjord native made his breakthrough on TikTok with acoustic guitar interpretations of beloved Norwegian ballads. He debuted in November 2022 with the single "Månen," which was A-listed on the national radio station NRK P1 for an impressive 16 weeks. Since his debut, Zimmermann has released fan favorites like "Ta med deg døra," "Ole Lukkøye," "Griper etter halmstrå," and his debut album In medias res.

In the spring of 2025, the newcomer embarked on his first Norwegian tour, visiting Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen, Sandefjord, Stavanger, Kongsberg, and Moss, receiving glowing reviews and selling out multiple shows. Accompanied by his fantastic band, Zimmermann’s impressive stage presence brings both sing-alongs and tears to the audience—this is a show you do not want to miss!
