After the walk on Varbak, you can get started on FOLKrockefoten! On the football field at Varbak, we are setting up for a concert, and we promise a proper folk music party of new dimensions!
The folk rock band Gangar is a ball of young energy that you won't soon forget. Gangar combines traditional melodies with Rock, Metal and Jazz, creating a new and exciting musical expression in the process. Inspired by bands such as AC/DC, Hoven Droven and Meshuggah, they make Norwegian folk music available to a general audience, without compromising on tradition. Frontman and fiddle player Mattias Thedens finds the melodies on old recordings, and then they are arranged together, where the band members' different musical backgrounds add the extra powder that takes the party to a new level. All this is linked by a formidable live show filled with energy, audience interaction and dancing, which guarantees an evening of high musical quality, as well as getting the dancing feet of all the audience alive.
