The Movement Tour

Oslo World has teamed up with four other Norwegian concert organizers. Check out the tour we have set up in week 44!

Oslo World is proud to present the Movement network - a collaboration between festivals in Bergen, Tromsø, Skien and Molde. The goal is to present a wide array of international music to Norwegian audiences. Bergen International Music Festival is our partner in Bergen, and in addition we will be joined by three brand new festivals - Skien World, Molde Mundo and Tromsø World.

Every year, Oslo World chooses a theme for the festival, to provide us with a common thread in the booking. This year, the theme is Movement. We have chosen it for several reasons: Movement to music has been sorely missed at concerts the last two years. We also want to focus on political movements and how music plays a role and we want to highlight the importance of movement across borders and continents and the way it contributes to cultural progress.

The founding of the Movement Network is a central part of this year's theme. In years to come, we want to share a selection of the artists visiting Oslo World with other Norwegian cities. Here at home, Oslo World is a big festival - but in the grander scheme of things, we are still in the periphery. Hopefully, this will make Norway a more attractive music market for international artists.
