Víík

It feels like going back in time - or maybe even out of time when Norwegian vocalist VIIK playfully approaches her musical heritage. Working with the foremost young folk musicians in Scandinavia, she has placed herself as one of the most exciting new acts on the nordic music scene. VÍÍK shouts, dances, twists and turns folksongs and stories until they are entirely unrecognisable yet feel as a historical deja vu, expertly supported by a well tuned orchestra, allowing her to paint a magical universe of laughable fairytales, frightful medieval stories and melancholic sagas.

The first ever VÍÍK performance took place in 2019, and she has since then established a reputation as an unusual and exiting live act, having played Roskilde Festivals Main stage, as well as the famous Copenhagen Tivoli mainstage, and at the Danish Music Awards ‘Roots’ 2020 where she was nominated for Live Act of the Year, and again in 2021 for Artist of the Year. In 2022 VÍÍK will again be featured at Roskilde Festival, Rodolstads Festival, Nordic Folk Alliance, Roots and Hybrid, and many more.
