Hedvig Mollestad Trio live in Bergen

Experience Hedvig Mollestad Trio live on November 13th

Hedvig Mollestad Trio will perform at Hovedsalen in Bergen, Norway on November 13, 2026. The trio is known for its distinctive blend of jazz improvisation with elements of progressive rock and psychedelic soundscapes. Their music often features Mollestad’s powerful and expressive guitar playing, underpinned by a driving rhythm section comprised of Ellen Andreas Blackstad on bass and Øyvind Storesund on drums. The group has released several critically acclaimed albums, gaining international recognition for their energetic live performances and innovative compositions.

Hovedsalen is the main hall within Grieghallen, Bergen’s largest concert venue. Opened in 1978, it's architecturally significant as an example of Brutalist design, though subsequent renovations have softened some of its original aesthetic. The hall is renowned for its excellent acoustics and hosts a wide range of performances including classical music concerts, orchestral performances, and contemporary music events. It has a seating capacity of approximately 1,800 people and is a central hub for cultural life in Bergen and Western Norway. The hall underwent substantial upgrades between 2019-2021 to improve facilities and accessibility while preserving its acoustic qualities.
