International Folk Music Festival Tickets

The International Folk Music Festival in Førde, Vestland, Norway, has been a beacon for traditional folk and world music since its founding in 1990. Held annually across multiple venues around Førde—with the main arena at Førdehuset—the festival showcases artists from Norway and around the world, celebrating language, storytelling, and musical heritage. With royal patronage since 2006, including Queen Sonja and Crown Princess Mette-Marit from 2011 onward, the festival blends cultural prestige with accessible, no-fuss ticketing through Festival channels like TicketCo and the official Billettinformasjon page. The 2025 edition ran July 2–6 with the theme Music & Language; Marja Mortensson wrote the commissioned work for that year. The 2026 edition is scheduled for July 1–5, 2026. Expect a vibrant, multi-venue experience with around 20,000 attendees and roughly 250 artists across approximately 30 stages, all underscoring Førde’s status as a world-class folk music hub.
