Madrugada & Valkyrie Allstars
Madrugada and the Valkyrie Allstars play the summer night in Kirketorget
On Saturday 9 July, the audience will experience the Norwegian super band Madrugada, who this year will release a new record for the first time since 2008. The band, which reunited with great success in 2019, are ready to give the audience a powerful performance like no other, with both new and old songs. On the same evening, the audience also gets the pleasure of hearing the Valkyrie Allstars, on the same ticket.
ATTENTION! Frida Ånnevik, who was supposed to play a concert, has unfortunately canceled due to Covid. The Valkyrie Allstars is added to the program.
Dawn
Madrugada will release a new album on 28 January, the band's first album since 2008, and is confirmed for Kongsberg Jazzfestival!
Since the debut album "Industrial Silence" from 1999, the band has released four studio albums and one live album, achieving a position among the Norwegian concert audience that few other bands can match. On Industrial Silence, Sivert Høyem sings "Oh in time, you and I, we'll shine", as a promise of what lies ahead. And the public has been waiting, and hoping. At the end of January, Madrugada's long-awaited album "Chimes at Night" will be released, which will be followed by a major tour both at home and abroad.
In the decade following Industrial Silence, Madrugada released four more studio albums. When Madrugada disbanded in 2008, after completing their self-titled final album on sheer willpower, the story seemed to be over. The reunion in 2019 was an unexpected but joyful new chapter, and after this the audience has only increased and increased.
Madrugada has a very special standing among both the audience in Kongsberg and in the rest of the country. When the band now releases new music for the first time since 2008, they will probably be more relevant than ever.
