Honningbarna

On Saturday, April 3, 2027, Honningbarna will take over Oslo Spektrum. In a larger room than ever before, but with the same life-affirming spirit and unpredictability as when they only played living room concerts and small club stages. Honningbarna has never been a band that follows the rules. Now that they bring their physical and chaotic live energy to Oslo Spektrum, the plan is to make the space their own. What actually awaits is something the band keeps close to their chest. The only certainty is that this will be their version of a Spektrum concert: intimate, uncompromising, and alive in the moment. “I thought of many ridiculous things when we started this band and have thought of many of them since, but Honningbarna in Oslo Spektrum has not been one of them. There’s really little to suggest it: a punk band without chart-toppers (no hit wonders), no psy-op-label-daddy-marketing – we’ve done as we pleased, kept HB sacred and, most importantly: really great people have built a community around it. Probably, the same reasons that make it unlikely are why we can, should, and will. We are proud.” – Edvard Valberg, Honningbarna With the exception of a few festivals, this will be the only concert they do in Norway in 2027. It is a rare opportunity for audiences from all over the country to experience the band! The gang from Sørlandet has for years been among Scandinavia’s most influential, while simultaneously building a unique position as a live band. Through concerts where the distance between stage and audience is continually challenged, Honningbarna has often been described as the country’s best live band. Meanwhile, the band has made a mark in recent years with highly acclaimed releases. The album Animorphs was released in 2022 and received unanimous praise from the country’s critics. NRK called it a masterpiece, while Klassekampen referred to Animorphs as “one of the best punk albums in Norway ever.” In 2025, they followed up with Soft Spot. The album was met with exclusively fives and sixes, was described as “one of the year’s best albums,” “sparkling,” and “their best work yet,” and earned them the band’s fourth Spellemann award. Welcome to Honningbarna at Oslo Spektrum on Saturday, April 3, at 7:30 PM!
