Looking Back at Borealis 2026!
Hard to believe it wasn’t just yesterday! Borealis 2026 was five inspiring days of concerts, sea bathing, snowy hikes, sound installations and conversations. We met people from all over the world and explored new musical expressions in unique listening spaces. Now you can relive some of those moments in our festival recap video!
