A week after their successful concert at the Brewhouse in Gothenburg, Apoptygma Berzerk announces their return to an Oslo venue for the first time in over ten years! And it’ll be a full night of music – as their special guest they’ll bring Vile Electrodes over from the UK, who also will support Apop on some of the German dates in 2019.
DJ Alex Tjore will fill our ears between the bands with a special DJ set consisting of the best electronic tunes from the golden era of 1977-1984, so proper dancing footwear would be smart to consider.
On behalf of the APB Crew, Per Aksel Lundgreen elaborates:
The plan is also to be able to do more concerts in Sweden in the future, and also in England, which is also an important market for APOP. Unfortunately we’ve been cut off with a few gigs in London and a couple of festivals in recent years.
Many from the United States also wonder when we get there, and as it is now with processing time and costs for work visa to the states, we must simply prioritize a new album before we even begin to think about the red tape over there! We really want to come over and play, but these days all time, energy and money are going into the new album that is already way overdue! It is 2 years since the last album, “Exit Popularity Contest”, and we must prioritize studio time.
The gig will be held at Parkteateret, Oslo, August 24th 2019 – get your tickets here!
The following dates are also booked for Apoptygma Berzerk concerts in 2019:
– 16th. March – Oberhausen (E-Tropolis Festival) (Germany)
– 15th. August – Hannover (Capitol) (Germany)
– 16th. August – Dresden (Strasse E / Reithalle) (Germany)
– 17th. August – Cologne (Essigfabrik) (Germany)
– 18th. August – Waregem (W-Festival (Belgium) (Germany)
Meanwhile we can join in the chant here 🙂
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
