History
It started out as an intimate blues and Americana festival, situated at various venues in the city center of Bergen.[1]
Bergenfest has since then grown into what is now one of the leading music events in Norway, with a much more diverse music profile and a significantly bigger audience. In 2012, the festival changed to an outdoor event, and are now situated in the historically and aesthetically stimulating surroundings at Bergenhus Fortress.[2]
