Pub choir

with Vetle Gjevestad Agledahl

Festival square

Have you heard about the pub choir trend? A choirmaster steps onto the stage and instructs the audience on how to perform a song together. No previous singing experience is required, but a love for singing is a must! Alongside a crowd of friends and strangers, you suddenly find yourself part of a mega-choir, joyfully harmonising to a well-known hit. 

Choirmaster Vetle Gjevestad Agledahl is one of the key figures behind the pub choir wave in Norway, with a real knack for making anyone sound good, regardless of their starting point. He has previously filled the Bislett stadium with both trained choristers and shower singers, in what became Europe’s largest pub choir! 

Now you have the chance to take part in Bergen’s largest pub choir in a free outdoor event at the Festival square, free and open to everyone.
