Hippievikings

The Parkenfestival is a musicfestival held in Bodø every year, over two days towards the end of august/beginning of september. It was first held in 2006, and they expected around 2500 people to show up. The crowd exceeded that by about 5000 individuals on the second day, and it continues to sell around 7500 tickets every year. The festival has previously hosted international artists like Chris Cornell (he was awesome!), CunnunLynguists, The Roots, Clutch, Danko Jones, N.E.R.D, Manic Street Preachers, Kelis, The Hives and many more!
This years festival was held august 19th and 20th, and boy was I there! It was my third time attending, and it rocked some serious face!
This years list of awesomeness consisted of, among others, Lissie, Iggy Pop and Ed Kowalcyk from Live, plus a number of great norwegian and scandinavian bands. It was an amazing weekend, and I'm still coming down from the high of all that good music. Seeing Lissie and Ed from Live were just unbelievable, and if you ever get a chance to see our swedish cutie, Robyn, I strongly recommend it; she is a FIREWORK on stage! So good!! Of course I have alot of pictures, and I'll share a few with you. The videouploader is being a bitch ATM, so I'll post the videos later.

Lissie<3 Beautiful, talented, american Lissie:)

A very happy viking, watching Lissie, and obviously in need of new beer.

Look at all those people! Oh shit, am I in the way?

Eva & the heartmaker is an up and coming norwegian band that I really dig.

Drunk and happy vikings.

Foo Fighters

June 24th I went to Oslo to see the Foo Fighters live for the first time in my life. Naturally it was no less then completely epic. The whole day was about as awesome as they come; we spent all morning and early afternoon at the amusementpark I wrote about earlier, which just made me hyper and super extatic for the night to come. I was not let down. 20 000 people from all over the country showed up to see the show. Dave Grohl told us he had never played in a footballarena that hot before. It was like a sauna in there, but it all just added to the awesomeness of it all. Dave has got to be the nicest guy the music industry can offer, and they put on an amazing show. There was some trouble with the PA system; Dave goes "Excuse me? Are the Foo Fighters to loud for the PA-system?" and he just kept right on playing semi-acusticly. The highlight (oh but there were so many!) of the night, I gotta say, was when he played Wheels. I was conviced they wouldn't play it, cause it wasn't on the setlist from Stockholm, so I almost cried from joy when they did. It took WEEKS before I came down off that high, and I am DEFINITELY going to see them again.

VERY excited for the show to start!

Hell to tha yeah!

Telenor Arena before the show, not quite full yet.
