SATURDAY 19 SEPTEMBER 2026
CITY OF ATHENS LYCABETTUS THEATRE
Sivert Høyem, one of Norway’s most distinctive artists, known both as the commanding frontman of Madrugada and for his acclaimed solo career, returns to Europe in 2026 with a tour that celebrates milestones and new beginnings alike.
On Saturday, September 19, he will perform live in Athens, for the first time on the stage of the City of Athens Lycabettus Theatre, in a captivating concert where his deep, familiar voice will meet its natural setting beneath the city’s star-lit sky.
Following the release of his last two albums, On an Island (2024) and the brand-new Dancing Headlights (2025), Høyem has once again confirmed his place as one of the most remarkable voices in Nordic music. His songs are praised for their raw, melancholic beauty, evoking the vast northern landscapes of his homeland, and his live performances are as intense as they are unforgettable.
On January 23, 2026, Høyem released The Best Of, a collection gathering the highlights of his solo career, from iconic songs to intimate pieces where his voice stands alone. More than a compilation, the album is a portrait of an artist whose work combines vast emotional spaces with a unique musical signature, capturing not only the music but also the atmosphere, the stories, and the slightly dark shimmer of beauty that defines Sivert Høyem.The album is available digitally worldwide and will be available on vinyl in Greece starting Friday, January 30.
2026 also marks several anniversaries for Høyem, both personally and musically. Two of his solo albums, Lioness and Exiles turn ten and twenty years old, while Høyem himself celebrates his fiftieth birthday. Yet beyond the numbers, this tour is a tribute to a life devoted to music and to an artist who can fill a room with a single note.
Together with his trusted band, Høyem will guide audiences through highlights from across his career: from brand new material to timeless songs like Prisoner of the Road, Moon Landing, Into the Sea and Madrugada’s iconic Majesty. Each night will be unique, filled with surprises, rare gems and intimate moments in true Høyem spirit.
More than a celebration, this is an invitation to experience the voice, presence and intensity that have made Sivert Høyem a towering figure in Norwegian music.
