Following a sold-out headline show at Oslo's iconic Rockefeller venue and the recent release of
their latest album, Kalandra will return to the UK in March 2027.
The Norwegian quartet have built a devoted global following through their elegant blend of dark
atmospheric rock, haunting vocals and ethereal melodies. Their music embraces contrasts
between shimmering joy and aching melancholy, sounding atavistically ancient but stylishly
contemporary, otherworldly but firmly rooted in woodland soil.
With millions of streams worldwide and a passionate fanbase, Kalandra continue their
ascendancy as one of Scandinavia's most distinctive acts.

Kalandra
Spearheaded by four Norwegian/Swedish musicians, Kalandra is a band with roots in melancholic Nordic folk and gritty guitars, weaving ethereal melodies into raw and eerie musical landscapes.
Formed in the beginning of 2011, they’ve spent a decade crafting their own unique sound, building their own studio, whilst also touring and playing support for similar acts such as Gåte, Seigmen, Wardruna and Eivør. Their break came with a cover of ‘Helvegen’ by Wardruna, that amassed over four million views on YouTube. Since leading them to join forces with the acclaimed record label ByNorse Music.
In 2020 their first full-length album ‘The Line’ was finally released. The album was a journey in introspection, the feelings of wonder, anger, loss and acceptance at watching both your own life and the world around you unfold.
From their studio in Oslo, the band has since created music for the HBO Nordic’s series “Beforeigners” and the full soundtrack to the game series “Kingdom Two Crowns” which resulted in their second release “Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands Soundtrack (Extended)” in 2022.
Wether you are playing Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands or adventuring in your imagination. Enchanting and captivating in equal measure, Kalandra have shown that they’re not only brilliant songwriters but masterful composers as well. - Tom Fordham, distoredsoundmag.com
