In November 2025, the Havila Coastal Express proved that it's possible to sail the entire coastal route between Bergen and Kirkenes with low emissions.

Trondheim13.07.2026 - 17.07.2026Artist of the week: amaida.
Experience concerts with amiada. in the Hall of Fame exhibition twice daily during the period July 13 - 18 and get closer to one of the new voices in Norwegian popular music! Concert time: 11:30 13:30 Duration approximately 20 minutes. amaida. is an Oslo-based Cameroonian-Norwegian artist, who blends rnb, soul and funk with honest reflections on her unique journey. Through her music, she creates a sanctuary for overthinking and highly sensitive souls, offering a safe space to feel, reflect and heal. amaida.'s heartfelt melodies and lyrics tackle the complexities of human emotions, inviting listeners to embrace their vulnerability and find solace in the music. Audiences have drawn parallels between amaida.s sound and artists like Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Jazmine Sullivan and Yebba. Add a little emotional turbulence in a familiar Gen Z style and you have amaida. The 23-year-old from Trøndelag made an impression at last year's Vill Vill Vest, her first festival, where she received a 10/10 from Musikknyheter. They predicted that she would soon take to bigger stages, wrote that "it's not easy to see what amaida. lacks as an artist" and encouraged record labels to be the one who "runs the fastest with a pen in hand". The debut single "the dark side of the moon", released in April 2025, was described by Pulsmagasinet as "a debut that smells like stardust", and was recommended on NRK P3 Urørt. Now amaida. is working on her debut EP "21st century love", and plans to release the next single in the spring of 2026. The concert is included in the admission ticket to Rockheim. Buy the Rockheim Card and catch all concerts with Ukas artist this summer: https://rockheim.no/rockheimkortet -------------------------------------------- About the Artist of the Week at Rockheim: Every week this summer, six young artists take the stage in Rockheim's Hall of Fame exhibition with their own music and personal expressions.

Concert in the tent with Gunslingers and FraMor. 18 years of age limit. For almost 20 years, Gunslingers has delivered Norwegian country music of the highest quality. They have achieved numerous awards, been awarded gold and platinum trophies, and had the honor of playing at hundreds of sold-out events. The band travels around with a show that stands out from the crowd and gives the audience a unique concert experience. Behind vocalist and songwriter Frode Måkestad, stands a number of renowned Norwegian musicians - none other than: Tore Mæhle (Bass), Frode Andreassen (Drums), Dag Wolf (Steel guitar), Jan Ove Johansen (Guitar) and Nikolai Storevik (Fiddle). The band focuses on genuine playing pleasure and musical quality. Playback and tracks are blasphemy in church for this group. At the Gunslingers concerts, the audience will be treated to a full-on show. The chemistry between stage and audience is unique and there is no doubt that these guys were made to perform on stage. Being at a Gunslingers concert can be experienced as a real serotonin boost and not least - it gives you a memory you will soon (or never) forget. From Mother to Utihavet for the 5th year in a row! 5 good reasons to look forward to seeing FraMor on Utihavet! 1️⃣ Frank and Morten are like a fine vintage wine that only gets better with age, so we've never seen them better than this year! 2️⃣ Since last time, the repertoire has increased to include EVEN more sing-along hits, in addition to releasing a new FraMor album this winter! 3️⃣ Not only do they play all the instruments themselves, but they've gotten better at it too! 4️⃣ They become less shy with age, so it is to be expected that there will be some small talk with Northern Norwegian undertones between songs! 5️⃣ Frank and Morten will give EVERYTHING to ensure that the people have a fantastic experience once again!

On a good evening, that's all you need to create laughter, reflection and closeness. **Lars Jones** is a sought-after musician, both live and in the studio, and has collaborated with, among others, Anne Grete Preus, Dronning Mauds Land, Grete Svensen and Di Derre.

"The Golden Quarter" is the name of the mini-concerts and other cultural events on the church hill outside Vår Frue. The concerts take place during the service by the fire pans under the auspices of Our Lady - Open Church (Kirkens Bymisjon). On July 18th we look forward to hearing Sebb Ottesen! "Sebb Ottesen has a life story that could have been taken straight out of a country song. If Johnny Cash, Jelly Roll and Luke Combs had had a common son from Trøndelag in Norway, it would have been Sebb. With a childhood marked by both joy and challenges, life gradually took a darker turn as the parties became longer and longer. A settlement with the past became a turning point where Sebb found his way to music. This became a new driving force, and a new way to tell his story. The 25-year-old has played guitar since he was twelve, but it is only in recent years that he discovered that his voice and lyrics could carry something more. Free entry, Warm welcome!

Knut Marius to Café Skuret on July 18th! With his powerful voice and strong communication, Knut Marius has distinguished himself as one of Norway's most distinctive vocalists. Now he is working on new music and a new album project, where he once again writes the songs in Norwegian - a language that gives his lyrics even greater intimacy and meaning. The single "Ember", inspired by his daughter Vilja, was the start of the road to the new album. The song is about taking charge of one's own life, facing challenges and always searching for the next step. Several of the new songs are produced by Espen Lind, and mark an exciting new phase in Knut Marius' career. After moving back to his hometown of Tomrefjord, he finds inspiration in nature and closeness to his family – which also leaves its mark on his music. On stage, the audience gets to experience the new songs along with selected favorites. This will be an evening of strong songs, great voices and genuine communication. • Date: July 18 • Location: Café Skuret, Trondheim • Standing room only • Age limit: 20 years • Doors open: 8:00 PM • Concert start: 9:00 PM • A companion with a companion certificate
