Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
A very new event (launched in 2022) reflecting Stavanger’s grassroots music culture. The festival started as a way to showcase the city’s ‘underskogen’ (undergrowth) of artists and has quickly become a symbol of Stavanger’s creative energy. It is a community-driven festival rooted in supporting local talent and encouraging public engagement with the arts.
