On Friday 14 November at 14:30, Borealis takes over the sauna during Sauna Marathon with Laugaren, filling it with experimental music and sound that will get both blood and senses flowing.
Join us for a listening session that warms body and soul, as we take a musical plunge into the unknown.
Maybe you’ll even get a little hint of what’s to come at Borealis 2026!
Several payed part-time positions are now opening up in Borealis!
We have a core team of people working throughout the year, but as the festival approaches, we need more hands on deck! Want to join our team?Borealis aims to be a workplace where people are seen, supported and given a chance to grow. Tasks and responsibilities will be tailored to the best candidate, and personal suitability can compensate for formal training and other qualifications.
Application deadline: 19 October.
Borealis 2026 is starting to take shape!
To celebrate the new design that will spice up Borealis 2026, Early Bird Festival Passes are now on sale at a special reduced price. The pass works as a discount ticket: it gives access to the whole festival at a lower cost than individual tickets, making it the most affordable way to experience everything Borealis has to offer.
Like last year – our pricing system is scaled so you can choose the price that fits you and your life situation best.
This month we say goodbye to several members of Borealis team. Project manager Güliz Portakaloğlu finishes her traineeship, Head of Production Aistė Žumbakytė moves on to new position at Carte Blanche, and Runa Halleraker is embarking on freelance life, as an artist and photographer. After more than 12 years, our longtime Head of Communications İrem Müftüoğlu, is also leaving. She has been central in shaping the festivals public profile, audience development as well as international delegate programme. We will miss them all dearly, and we wish them the very best!
At the same time we welcome new colleagues: Anette Grindheim steps into the role of Head of Production, while Ania Popowska is our new Head of Communications. Both have worked with Borealis before, and we’re excited to have them back on the team!
