After ten years of waiting, the legendary Casiokids are back in full force! The Bergen-based band has already completed a comeback autumn that reeks of excitement.
Their fabled concerts, featuring elements like 4-metre-tall dancing velvet monsters and their irresistibly danceable synth-pop with witty West Norwegian lyrics, set the stage perfectly for pure, euphoric fun during the festival summer of 2025!
Between 2004 and 2014, the band embarked on a wild journey across the globe. They performed thousands of club and festival gigs in nearly 40 different countries, and tracks like Fot i hose, Finn bikkjen and En vill hest were frequently played on BBC, Radio France, and US college radio. They were signed to Universal, Moshi Moshi, and Polyvinyl, nominated for Spellemann awards multiple times, and received a 1 million NOK grant from A-ha. They earned heaps of praise from international heavyweights such as Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and NME, the latter calling the band “the best thing to come out of Norway since black metal.”
Then, suddenly, they took a ten-year siesta, during which the band members explored other musical projects. Vocalist Fredrik Vogsborg, for example, has won three Spellemann awards and worked with Aurora, Young Dreams, The Megaphonic Thrift, Silja Sol, Strange Hellos, Real Ones, and Hjerteslag.
In 2024, the band finally returned with the critically acclaimed comeback album Tid for hjem, released on Jansen Records. Clearly, the band has fully awoken from its slumber, as they have already announced plans to release even more new music in 2025. Casiokids are ready to unleash both old hits and new favourites on stage, at home and abroad, and this unique concert experience is one not to be missed!
