BODØ 2024
NORTHERN EXPO WENT TO BODØ IN JUNE 2024
Showcasing some of the best and most export ready acts across genres from the north - in exciting locations, in a compelling format.
In collaboration with Bodø 2024 European Capital of Culture, we want this to be different from other showcase events by doing it in our own format in a setting that only Northern Norway can offer.
With Bodø’s beautiful scenery, we think the area is a perfect location to present you some emerging artists full of contrast.
