It’s happening!
Borealis 2024 celebrates innovative experimental sound and music making from across Norway and Sápmi. Over 5 days we bring together adventurous listeners in concert halls, on mountain tops, and in swimming pools to listen together here in Bergen.
2024’s festival is for the first time programmed in collaboration, this year with Sámi artist Elina Waage Mikalsen, bringing a whole programme of experimental Sámi artists together in a way that has never been done in Bergen before

We sell single tickets and a Borealis Pass. The Borealis Pass gives you the cheapest tickets at our festival. With this pass you can buy tickets for only NOK 50! It also gives you discounts in Landmark café.
Artist in Residence 2022–2024
Sea Sámi and Norwegian artist and musician Elina Waage Mikalsen has been our Artist in Residence 2022–2024. Over two years, Elina has with support by the festival explored the interaction of Sámi history, identity and erasure with experimental sound, music and listening practices. Asking the question “What is Sámi sonic experimentalism?” together we will explore who defines experimentalism, who is listening and how, and what frames define how we take part in listening?
Borealis webshop
We have a soft spot for nice merch and have for several years had a lot of fun making everything from gym bags and socks, to caps and bum bags. Get a hold of our beautiful range of merch in our webshop! Get yourself a Borealis bag, or make a friend happy with a pair of “experimental” socks.
