NORDIC PLUS - Liveurope Festival 2026…
On December 3rd, there's musical northern lights at Lille VEGA when four of Scandinavia's most promising names put an exclamation point under their talent at the festival NORDIC PLUS - Liveurope Festival 2026. The Nordic underground is vibrating. NORDIC PLUS is a recurring concert evening dedicated to new music from the north. The program is composed by VEGA's programming team in close collaboration with international partners and seeks to present some of the most interesting expressions and trends in the Nordic underground right now. The first edition of NORDIC PLUS is subtitled Liveurope Festival 2026. Liveurope Festival is an annual recurring event that takes place at a new venue in a new country each year. VEGA is, together with 24 other independent venues, a member of the Liveurope platform, which aims to strengthen focus on and conditions for new European talent. NORDIC PLUS / Liveurope Festival 2026 takes place with support from Liveurope and is co-financed by the European Union. Glayden. The Finnish singer, songwriter, and DJ Glayden carries the cold melancholy and fragile optimism that characterizes his hometown, Helsinki. His music finds unexpected connections between genres and subcultures and places itself at the crossroads between catchy songwriting and experimental soundscapes. A sample from the band Children of Bodom meets vocal lines borrowed from Madonna. It's just one thread in a patchwork that forms a fertile musical landscape. Kaoroo. The 26-year-old songwriter Kaoroo has experienced an almost explosive rise since he released his first tracks just over a year ago. His unique blend of drum and bass, rock, hip-hop, and jungle — which he calls "JUNGLE PUNK" — brings a fresh breath to the Norwegian music scene. With an unsurpassed sense for melodies and contagious energy, Kaoroo is a name you'll definitely hear much more from in the years to come. de clair. Behind the name de clair. is Swedish songwriter Clara Rudelius. She is an artist whose strong yet vulnerable voice carries her music forward with a rare degree of presence. de clair. delivers beautiful and deeply felt arrangements that meet honest and sometimes provocative lyrics that explore global inequalities, friendship, memories, and love. Her 2024 debut, hiding mountains in the palm of my hand, garnered critical acclaim worldwide. The following year brought an extensive tour with performances alongside names like Amanda Bergman, Augustine, waterbaby, and Ellen Krauss. Spawner. Three singles and a critically acclaimed debut album have come from the advancing indie rock trio Spawner's hand last year. Particularly their debut album, Air is Getting Stranger (2025), has caught critics' attention — both domestically and internationally. GAFFA writes about the debut album: "Spawner belongs to the genre of indie bands that can make you hallucinate an extra member. Because although the music on their debut album, Air is Getting Stranger, often consists of roaring guitar landscapes, thunderous drums, and ethereal vocal harmonies, there are only three musicians in the band." Spawner is Ella Moreno Risell, Johan Danø Hoffmann, and Jonas Engell, and the three members say themselves about the project that it is an investigation into how one through the three-voiced can create a shared fourth. An investigation that opens up as tight vocal harmonies, as humming of folk and country, and as twists and turns between punk and grunge-inspired riffs. Support: The concert is supported by Liveurope. Liveurope is the first pan-European initiative to support concert venues in their efforts to promote emerging European artists. Liveurope is co-financed by the EU's Creative Europe program.
