2022 in concerts

2022 Was a good year for concerts. Here are most of the concerts I attended in 2022, the highlight being Lime Cordiale personally, considering I'm a big fan. Tøfl on a close second. Rammstein I would argue is not a concert and more a show, and in that regard its clearly the best show I went to the whole year.

Mods - 11. June

Starting this year off with a bang, Mods brought evereyone that is something in Rogaland together for this concert.

The concert started at 17:00 and lasted until midnight, the warmup show was excellent, consisting of many different artists such as Tøfl, Vestlands Fanden, Kriminell Kunst, elle melle, Froddi og Compagniet, Stavangerkameratene, and people like Camilla Herrem and Bent Høie.

Before kicking it off with an amazing live performance that made everyone in the SR Bank Arena sing.

And just when you thought this concert was about to end they sing their song "meg må du hilsa på", which is a banger by itself, but singing it along with the rest of a stadium was a pleasure.

Concert: 6/6

Show: 6/6

Rammstein - 24. July

Show: Can't be scored, its just the best show out there. Concert: 5/6, as a concert it might not be the best concert ever, but the show is insane and worth watching whether or not you like the music.

Oktoberfest in Stryn 16-17. September

Like always one of the highlights of this year. Its a two day festival where everyone in Stryn comes together to drink, sing, and dance.

Oslo blåseorkester

Oslo blåseorkester is one of the most fun bands to see, they are a cover band, but cover every song with a ompa-twist.

Concert: 5/6

Show: 5/6

Vassendgutane

Vassendgutane brings in the crowd, and for some unexplainable reason, even if you do not know the songs they play, you are able to sing them perfectly after a couple of beers. It seems like their songs and lyrics are locked behind the veil, which you are able to pierce with alcohol.

If you like to be deaf and have a lot of fun, Vassendgutane is worth watching. They play waay too loud, but that is just part of their schtick. Just remember to bring something to protect your ears if you are seeing them.

Concert: 5/6

Show: 4/6

Staysman

I am not a fan of his music at all, but that being said, it was a really fun stage show, and made everyone else sing. It was a fun experience.

Concert: 4/6

Show: 5/6

Lime Cordiale - 24. October

Finally Australian music is coming to Norway, it's been a long time coming, as they have, in my opinion, the best music scene at the moment. One of the bands with the best vibes from down under is Lime Cordiale.

The warmup show by Annie Hamilton was also fantastic and a raw musical experience. It was just her and her guitar on stage, making it an intimate and special experience.

It was also fun meeting the band before the concert where we got to exchange some words and talk.

Concert: 6/6

Show: 5/6

Ka2 - 10. November

Ka2 is probably my favourite band from Bergen at the moment, their stage presence and visuals are fun, their songs hit hard and go all the way from lounge edm to hard club music.

Concert: 5/6

Show: 6/6

Hjerteslag - 17. November

Hjerteslag was a huge disappointment. I left the concert early after hearing the songs I wanted to hear.

Concert: N/A

Show: Boring

Tøfl - 18. November

After the Mods concert earlier this year I was listening to Tøfl probably every day since, they really engrained themselves into a part of my brain. Their songs are relatable and upbeat, their show is energetic and fun. If you have a chance to see these guys, it's a very underrated band at the moment. Getting tickets should not too hard, but I predict that it will be much harder in the future to get them.

I would like to see more stage effects when they get larger, but their music and sound doesn't really need it.

Concert: 6/6

Show: 5/6
