New Magne Solo Appearances

Next week, Magne will do free a rehearsal concert on June 24 at the Palace Grill in Oslo. This rehearsal is to prepare for his performance at the Hove Rock Festival on June 25. Magne will be performing before Beck at the Hove Festival. Other artists participating include The National Bank, Panic at the Disco and Jay-Z.

In addition to his concert at Hove, Magne will be among several artists contributing art installations which will create an experience for the audience. In a recent Dagbladet interview, Magne said, “I have been in the lucky situation that I haven’t had to choose [between art and music]. There is no conflict between those two expressions. I’m trying to find ways to do both, and that’s more of an advantage than a disadvantage.”

Both the VG-list Topp 20 show and the Hove Festival are likely to be streamed live on NRK.no, as they have been in previous years. Check the NRK web site for more information.
