SPOT is proud to reveal the programme for the official Opening Night – a night with a focus on creativity, and a night which also makes up a small-scale picture of the rest of the festival.

One of the acts on this night is new fast rising Swedish singer Amanda Jenssen, who will take on swing, pop, ditties, rock’n’roll, soul and lots of other genres. Her sources of inspiration include Elvis, Edith Piaf, Tom Waits and Ella Fitzgerald.

Next to go stage will be the musical fusion Slaraffenklang, which consists of the bands Efterklang and Slaraffenland. Combined, they make up an ensemble with two drummers, eleven vocalists, three guitarists, two bass players, a piano, electronics and approximately 17 different wind instruments.
