William

William won MGP Junior 2022 with the song "Tusen tanker". His song is about putting all different thoughts away and just dreaming away. He was inspired by himself, because he can often be frustrated by all the thoughts that come to him when he goes to bed, which makes it difficult to sleep. Now William is ready to create a great atmosphere at Barnivalen!

Me and my comrade

Me and my comrade has played countless concerts for children and young people - at festivals, in cultural centers, in kindergartens and in schools all over Norway - to the delight of both young and old! They have had their own TV special on NRK with Kringkastings orkereset and they are one of the most vital songwriter couples in Norwegian music life, regardless of genre and age group.

Me, Martin Hagfors, and my partner, Erik Johannessen, have redefined what "music for children" is and can be. No topic is too small, and none is too big for Me and my Comrade.

To need to pee so much that you invent a new dance, to be in love but so confused among all the doorbells in the neighboring block, to feel lonely, tired, to have a grandfather who has a girlfriend who is not a grandmother, or for example a second best friend which is a robot, or sleeping like a rock - that is noe of it Me and my mate marvel at in their music - and which you and your friends can marvel at together with them during a guaranteed memorable concert experience!

Flying Seagulls

Jesters, clowns, musicians, artists and entertainers of all kinds from the company The Flying Seagulls will mark Barnivalparken with pranks and juggling. They are play and laughter specialists who believe that a daily smile should be a right for all children. And their humanitarian work, in the name of laughter, can be found all over the world.

Tickets

Day passes for both adults and children cost NOK 150. Three-day passes cost NOK 290 and can be purchased here.
