In 2025, Tone Damli marks 20 years as one of Norway’s most visible and beloved artists. Since her breakthrough on Idol in 2005, she has been a constant presence in Norwegian popular culture – with six albums, countless singles, TV appearances and tours, along with public love stories and break-ups, two children, a house build that received more media coverage than most politicians could dream of. And not least: a long-awaited engagement.
In this show, Tone Damli takes the audience behind the scenes of a life divided between the spotlight, the recording studio and everyday life with small children. For two decades, Tone has navigated both praise and harsh criticism, reality TV and red carpets, MGP in both Norway and Sweden, and more recently Maskorama and the podcast Råning med Tone. She has never won a song contest and has rarely received glowing reviews – but she has won something far more important: the hearts of the audience. This anniversary celebrates exactly that journey – from an Idol audition to an established place in Norwegian entertainment.
Tone herself describes it like this:
“I dreamed of becoming Norway’s Shania Twain. Now I’m aiming more for Wenche Myhre.”
The anniversary tour takes the audience through highlights, vulnerability, humour and stories never before told from the stage. Expect musical flashbacks and new interpretations of songs from her entire catalogue – from “Bliss” and “Butterflies” to “I Know”.
This anniversary is not about dice rolls or tabloids – but about the girl who always dreamed of becoming a singer, and who can now celebrate 20 years on stage.
