Kim Rysstad live in Oslo

Experience Kim Rysstad live on September 18th

Kim Rysstad is scheduled to perform at Grefsenkollen, Oslo, Norway on September 18, 2026. Rysstad is a Norwegian singer known for his interpretations of traditional Norwegian folk songs, particularly *stev* – a unique form of unaccompanied vocal improvisation characterized by specific melodic and rhythmic structures. His style often blends these historical vocal techniques with contemporary musical arrangements, incorporating elements of jazz and ambient soundscapes. He frequently explores themes relating to Norwegian nature and cultural heritage within his performances.

Grefsenkollen is historically significant as the site of Oslo’s first ski jumping hill, constructed in 1892. It has undergone several renovations since then, most notably for the 1952 Winter Olympics where it hosted the ski jumping competition. While no longer used for major international competitions due to the construction of newer facilities like Holmenkollen, Grefsenkollen remains a popular recreational area and retains its original wooden structure which is protected as a cultural heritage site. The venue offers panoramic views of Oslo and the surrounding fjord. In recent years it has become increasingly utilized for cultural events, leveraging its unique atmosphere and historical context.
