KAIZERS ORCHESTRA
The Norwegian sextet Kaizers Orchestra composes cathartic rock songs that are strongly influenced by the melodies of Tin Pan Alley and Eastern European folk music.
About
Since their first album in 2001, they have shaken up the Norwegian music scene, winning three awards for the release, including a Norwegian Grammy, and receiving critical acclaim from the national press, creating the best-selling rock debut ever released in Norwegian. Since then, they have had every studio album reach number 1 on the Norwegian album charts, sold out shows, won three more Norwegian Grammys (for Music Video, Rock, and Artist of the Year), and enjoyed commercial success in Europe with numerous tours and festival appearances, including three appearances on Roskilde's main stage. The band is currently experiencing another unexpected chart surge in Norway after a new generation of fans discovered and reposted their 2010 single "Hjerteknuser" on TikTok. After a ten-year hiatus, the band has reunited—the four-month, 56-date reunion tour in Norway sold out in less than fifteen minutes. The band has also just announced a worldwide tour for 2024–2025, which will include two dates in Germany.
