Backes Bu

Backes Bu is Farsund's only original warehouse and the festival's most intimate concert arena. Here, maritime culture oozes from the walls. We set up the stage so that there is good contact between artists and audience, and we have small tables and an informal club atmosphere. We have a bar, let's talk at Backes!
