- **Event Description**: Norwegian Grammy-winning noise rock band Årabrot to perform on 20.5.2026 at Sellosali, Espoo 

The performance by Norwegian Grammy-winning noise rock band Årabrot at Sellosali, Espoo, has been rescheduled to 20.5.2026. The evening will now be part of the Sonic Rites festival, which takes place the following weekend.

Norwegian Grammy-winning noise rock band Årabrot will perform on 22.5.2026 at Sellosali, Espoo, as part of the Sonic Rites 2025 pre-club events!

Årabrot’s sonic landscape is a vast and varied field of deliberate contrasts. A world of friction between noise, disharmony, tension, and moments of harmony. Yet there is more than noise rock in their formula—a dark, velveteen grace emerges, hinting at influences from pop and cabaret.

At the heart of Årabrot is Nernes, who embodies the band itself. Formed in Haugesund, Norway, in 2001, Årabrot spent years navigating the blackened, grimy European noise rock underground. In 2014, Nernes’ life changed dramatically when he was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer. The illness nearly claimed him, but the long, gruelling process of treatment and recovery gave him space to reconsider his life—and his artistic practice.

Speaking from the deconsecrated church in Djura, Sweden, where he lives with his wife, musician Karin Park, and their young daughter, Nernes reflects on the experience: "I struggled through that period of extreme sickness by writing our album The Gospel (2016). It was like a big explosion. And after an explosion comes silence. In that silence, you realize that everything has changed—and it was in that silence that the new record was born."

Having successfully recovered, Årabrot returned stronger than ever. The band has collaborated with renowned producers like Billy Anderson and Steve Albini, and musicians including Ted Parsons (Killing Joke/Swans), Stephen O’Malley (Sunn O)))), and Erlend Hjelvik (Kvelertak), further expanding their powerful and unique sound.

Showtime 7:00 PM (doors open at 6:00 PM)
