Open Arena starts the new year by presenting three great talents!
Lola Linda Poder comes from Tysnes, and already has several years of experience with music, despite her young age. Among other things, the 16-year-old got the honor of opening Tysnesfest 2025, and she is now attending the first year of the music program at Stord High School.
Wrong Place at the Right Time is five young people from 1st grade on the music program at Stord Upper Secondary School. The band consists of Gabriela Rumenova Angelova, Lars Sæverud, Henriette Grov Bruland, Kristina Aasheim Stenberg and Selma Nikolaisen. The name comes from the fact that none of the members play their main instrument in the band - i.e. “wrong place” - but still it is “right time”, because everything works well together. They have started as a cover band, but plan to write and perform their own songs in the future.
Magnhild Halland is a very promising singer-songwriter from Stord, with a distinctive mix of acoustic pop and energy. With deep and authentic lyrics, she captures the audience with a mixture of vulnerability and strong vocal performance.
The bakery Frugård, Trymmen's rolling account and Stord Rolling Club create concerts with a free age limit. Local youths stand on and behind the stage, together with artists who until now have been Hjerteslag, Slomosa, Autonomie, TØFL, Tobias Sten, Øystein Greni, Ravi and Oddny.
There is an age limit and the event is non-alcoholic.
