Nordic Night Events

Under the banner ‘Nordic Night’, the team behind the Norwegian record label By Norse started organizing events in 2016. By Norse is a platform to support Norse and Norse-related Art, Music, literature, film and culture. It was founded by Einar Selvik (Wardruna, Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik), Ivar Bjørnson (Enslaved, BardSpec, Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik) and Simon Füllemann (AISAmusic).
 
It all started with the event London By Norse, a three-day showcase of Nordic music and culture. This was followed by New York By Norse where Ivar Bjørnson and Einar Selvik hosted workshops at our long-term partner at Scandinavia House. Both events were significant international events designed to support Norwegian art, music, literature, film and culture abroad. 
 
As the name evolved into Nordic Night, Wardruna hosted the very first installment at Red Rocks Colorado in 2019, along with Sámi-Norwegian icon and singer Mari Boine. The events have taken on different forms and taken place on different continents. It has always been about presenting both our own art as well as other artists in surroundings that fit and compliment the art that is being presented.
 
The Nordic Night is much more than a concert, it is an experience. So far, we have had the pleasure of inviting people to extraordinary venues like Red Rocks Amphitheater in the United States, the Acropolis in Athens as well as ancient castles and Roman Amphitheaters throughout Europe. Borgholm in Sweden was the first Nordic Night in one of the Nordic countries which included workshops and a meet & greet session. This gave more context to our art and therefore an even more depth to the concert experience. We are continuously developing the Nordic Night concept, aiming for the experience, art and values to bring together people in extraordinary places.
