A very special band that’s very hard to pin down.
Experts at creating unique soundscapes, and draw you in just to mix it all up again.
Akersborg is one of those bands that just refuse to stick with one thing, one sound or being labelled to a genre.
Traversing from catchy riffs to pummeling drums accompanied by raspy screams from frontman Dag, this band is something to behold, as each live show lives its own life.
They mix hardcore, punk and rock together with theatricals on-stage with live camerafeed, off-beat breakdowns and guest-vocalists.
With one of Norway’s best drummers on pots and pans, this well-machine conundrum of a band is something you’ve never heard before, and less so seen before.
If Akersborg is a looking-glass to frontman Dag’s mind, we can almost guarantee you that you will leave Desertfest with a new psychological degree, and a new reference for musical prowess.
Akersborg is relentless, ever evolving and one of the freshest breaths to the music scene.
