Not only is the icon Grace Jones taking over the summer evening at Kvarten, now Fay Wildhagen is also coming! What they both have in common is a unique presentation and coolness, where they both define their own expression in a sometimes narrow mold for female musicians.

Fay Wildhagen played two fantastic concerts to full houses at the Opera in February, a concert Dagsavisen believes "had everything". She then quickly followed up with an extra concert on March 8th, to just as great success. We are incredibly happy that she is now performing at Saturday's big concert evening at Kvarten!

The contact and communication Fay Wildhagen has with her audience is something completely unique. The fact that she is also an incredibly raw and cool lady makes every concert experience a highlight you don't want to miss!

Fay Wildhagen made a name for herself across the country when she signed with Warner Music, and released her debut album SNOW in 2015. She was nominated for Newcomer of the Year of Spellemann Award og P3 Gold, and VG's reviewer wrote that we were dealing with a great artist who would assert himself in the futureBy the time she followed up with BORDERS (2018), Wildhagen had already positioned herself as one of our most exciting songwriters and guitarists, and was nominated for Producer of the Year og Indie/Alternative at Spellemann, while also playing concerts all over Europe.

On her latest album LET'S KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY (2024), she has written, produced and arranged all the songs and instruments herself. Focusing on the magic that occurs between musicians when they interact, has resulted in spectacular soundscapes – with depth, life and storytelling she has not shown us before.
