Bergenfest

Bergenfest takes place in Bergen, Norway, on the grounds of Bergenhus Fortress by the fjord, right next to the UNESCO-listed Bryggen district. Founded in 1993 as OleBlues, an intimate blues and Americana festival, it has gradually broadened into a much wider mix of genres spanning rock, pop and electronic music. Spread over several days in mid-June, it has grown into one of the leading music events in western Norway, helped by its striking medieval waterside setting.
