On Friday 30 October at 9.30 pm, Hivju and The Garbage King will be on stage at Festiviteten. The duo, consisting of Kristofer Hivju and Olav Lystrup, present a musical style that combines storytelling and atmosphere.
An acoustic and direct style
On tour in spring 2026, they will perform their music in a stripped-back form. The concert emphasises intimacy and intensity, with vocals, lyrics and instrumentation taking centre stage.
The collaboration behind the music
The project arose from an idea by Hivju, who wanted to create a simple, dark and direct album. The collaboration with Lystrup developed quickly, and the duo have since worked to shape their distinctive sound.
Musicians with extensive experience
Olav Lystrup is a producer and multi-instrumentalist with experience from several artist projects. Kristofer Hivju is known as an actor, but also has a long background as a musician and songwriter.
