Kristi Brud – award-winning rock band
Kristi Brud has risen from the ashes of Hjerteslag and made a name for itself as one of Norway's most powerful bands. Following their Spellemann Award-winning debut album Alt er nytt (Everything is New), they are now back with Et fall (A Fall) – a darker, more uncompromising and melodically powerful album. The band delivers catchy guitar rock with sing-alongs and intensity, and is ready to raise the roof at GARP.
Utlaav – country with a distinctive character
Eva, Emma, Uma, Hanna and Anna form Utlaav, a band that combines folk, country, jazz and indie pop. With lyrics about everything from insomnia to heartbreak, they create a distinctive sound that has already made a strong impression on Norwegian stages.
Theodor Lucero – melodic depth and genuine emotions
Theodor Lucero has made a name for himself with his ability to convey vulnerability and hope through his music. Inspired by The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Coldplay, he has created his own unique style that captivated both audiences and critics with his debut album ‘Travel Through Time’. Now he is on stage at JulaGARP, ready to touch new hearts.
WRATH – dark energy from Western Norway
WRATH combines prog metal and grunge in a powerful, hypnotic soundscape. The band, featuring Jenny Rudi, Sander Skogen and Aron Vagle, explores the inner darkness of humanity and the forces of nature. The result is hard-hitting, melodic and boundless.
