<p>Norway's most powerful voice and lyricist is soon heading across the Boknafjord again and to Ogna Scene. This time, Vidar Johnsen invites us to a 40th anniversary celebration and we will be served music from his entire musical career and good (and some slightly painful) stories from his 4 decades as one of the country's best-selling Norwegian-language artists. The last time Vidar Johnsen visited us, he came to a sold-out Ogna Scene. He will receive the same welcome this time too.</p>
<p>Vidar Johnsen turns 52 in 2024 and has 40 years behind him as an artist. He has long since consolidated his status as one of the country's most powerful voices, lyricist and songwriter. With more than 15 million streams on Spotify alone, and more than 600,000 physical albums sold in total, this man needs no further introduction. They say it's impossible to get bored at a Vidar Johnsen concert. We can attest to that!<br>

With newly polished trombone, newly tuned accordion and lovely song, the music is mainly composed by the band itself, but with elements from French predecessors such as Serge Gainsbourg, Edith Piaf and Django Reinhardt.
