GØ

Ólavur Eyðunsson Gaard (guitar), Kristian Pauli Ellefsen (keyboards), Árni Jóhannesson (bass), Hjørtur Háberg (drums), Sjúður Zachariasson (saxophone)

The band GØ was formed in 2015 by four young musicians who were tired of playing “nice and correct” music. Today, they are among the most in-demand musicians in the Faroe Islands, and they continue to maintain the same rebellious approach in how they write and perform music—anything goes in GØ.

Musically, GØ’s sound draws inspiration from the 1960s and 1970s, while their compositions also carry strong influences of film noir, spaghetti western soundtracks, jazz, and rock.

Over the past year, GØ has performed extensively both in the Faroe Islands and abroad, including at the Reykjavík Jazz Festival, where they impressed the Icelandic audience and received strong reviews from the major jazz publication Jazzwise.

Tunghoyrt is a band that plays heavy music. The name Tunghoyrt comes from the Faroese word “tunghoyrdur,” which means hard of hearing or nearly deaf.

Nashville Nights Returns to the Faroe Islands

After a highly successful first Nashville Nights concert at OY last year, Nashville Nights is now returning to the Faroe Islands.

Look forward to a truly special evening of music as Kristel Lisberg, Blue Foley, and Eric Erdman take the stage together in an authentic Nashville Writers Round.

A Writers Round is a unique concert format that is a major part of Nashville’s music scene. The artists sit together on stage, taking turns performing their songs and sharing the stories behind them—how the songs were written, the experiences that inspired them, and, in some cases, how they ended up being recorded by other well-known artists.

That’s why Nashville Nights is more than just a concert. It’s an intimate evening filled with powerful songs, personal stories, humor, and a taste of the unique songwriter culture that Nashville is famous for.

Kristel Lisberg has spent several years traveling to Nashville to pursue her country music dream, writing and recording new music there. She is also the organizer of Nashville Nights in the Faroe Islands and will captivate audiences with her strong country voice and songs crafted in Nashville.

Blue Foley is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, artist, producer, and founder of Nashville Nights. With more than 20 years of experience in Nashville, he has had over 250 songs recorded by other artists.

Eric Erdman is an American songwriter, guitarist, and troubadour known for his strong storytelling and humor. His songs have been recorded by artists including The Red Clay Strays, and he has won several songwriting and music awards.

Together, they create an evening where Faroese and American country music meet at the heart of what Nashville is all about: the songs, the stories, and the people behind them.

Plúmm has been around since the mid-1980s. The band has worked both as an independent band and played with others in several genres, e.g. rock, pop, country, folk and jazz. Best known is the collaboration with Terji Rasmussen under the name “Terji & Føstufressar”. When these musicians come together as Plúmm, they make their own terms. You can expect a concert with an anarchistic mix of genres with intense, flying improvisations. This time James Olsen will join them as a percussionist and singer. The musicians in Plúmm are among the leading in the country.

Broken Signal, which is a heavy and hard metal band with hard and fast riffs, deep sound and lots of energy. The music is inspired by metal legends such as Metallica and Slipknot. And they play both progressive metal and thrash metal themselves.

Although they are young, they already have a clear course. They are all 17 years old

Guðrun & Bartal have a concert in OY Saturday evening, October 30 at 21:00.

The program features all the neo-classical songs from the album, Vónin er (The Hope Is), which Guðrun & Bartal released in 2013. The concert will feature the full band.

On November 7, OY will set the stage for a very special night as Faroe5 return to perform the songs that so many know and love.

Faroe5 released their first singles, “Bara Eitt Spæl” and “Tú Fert Altíð At Vera Har”, in the summer of 2008. When their debut album followed later that year, it brought even more hits.

“Eg Vil Hava T”, “Eina Langa Nátt”, “Sama Gerð”, “Sjeikurin”, “Droymi Mitt Um Dagin” and many more have become part of the soundtrack for generations of Faroese music fans – and despite the years that have passed, the songs are more alive than ever.

Taking the stage will be the same five singers who formed Faroe5 from the very beginning: Lillian Dalsgaard, Asta Højgaard, Jónvá Ellingsgaard, Ragnhild Dam and Vígdis Fjallstein Christiansen.

With new pop hits in the mix alongside a catalogue of songs that has stood the test of nearly two decades, everything is set for a night of nostalgia, pop, partying and sing-along anthems.

Faroe5 – live at OY on November 7

Jazz at OY

In November, Tórshavn seems to disappear into rain long before the night is over.

On the evening of the 21st, we would like to break this night apart!

And we’ll set the night alight — with fast jazz, restless improvisation, bright melodies and a rhythm that pulls people into the dance and makes sitting down seem like an unnecessary arrangement!

With Vár and Vár’s Havnar Boys, the music moves between songs and improvisation, between something carefully shaped and something that can change completely in the next few seconds.

The band features Justin James Villanueva on saxophone, Arnold Ludvig on bass, Kristian Pauli Ellefsen on piano and Rógvi á Rógvu on drums.

There will be light, movement, saxophone, piano, drums — and, with any luck, a moment when the room begins to move with the music and the wet world outside becomes temporarily irrelevant.

We're young enough to lose control for a while!
Jazz enough to know exactly what we are losing it to)

With songs such as “Oktober, Bergen by,” “Bittelitt,” and “Alma,” Spellemann Award winners Oddny have long since established themselves as a unique voice from Western Norway in the Norwegian music scene.

Following radio success, sold-out concerts, and a steadily growing fan base, they also won the 2024 Luttprisen Award for Newcomer of the Year. The accolades continued in 2025, when they received both the Norwegian Ballad Forum’s Artist Grant and the Frank Hammersland Memorial Fund Award. That says a lot: Oddny connects with people on a deeply emotional level. And when the Spellemann Awards were presented in March 2026, Iver Strand Senneset / Oddny went all the way to the top, winning Songwriter of the Year for Lyrics, in addition to earning a nomination in the Songwriter of the Year category.

With a highly distinctive and instantly recognizable style, they blend alternative pop-rock with dialect lyrics filled with emotion, intimacy, and authenticity. On stage, they have become one of Norway’s most talked-about live acts, and 2025 saw them take audiences by storm—festival after festival, and in venues large and small across both Norway and Sweden. Sold out at Kulturhuset in Bergen. Sold out at Parkteatret in Oslo. And when they performed at by in 2025, Gaffa awarded the concert a perfect six-star review, calling it “grandiose.” It’s hard not to be impressed.

The band is based at Gamlahuset in Bremanger, a kind of musical collective where they periodically live, work, write, and record their songs, with drummer and producer Oliver Igland providing a steady hand behind the controls. They are now back at Gamlahuset, where they are recording their second album this spring, with new music expected later this year.

Oddny return sharper than ever, fueled by fresh energy, fresh guitar picks, and clear plans for the future. They arrive in full stride, bringing songs that go straight to the heart without knocking first.
