This 12 months’s Trondheim Calling was my fifth, and I’ve seen the competition evolve to a really skilled and in addition attention-grabbing competition. The convention half is excellent, with attention-grabbing, and in addition helpful themes for the struggling musicians. The competition half mixes up and coming artists and bands with some extra established bands. On this approach the concert events attracts the native followers along with the delegates so the bands get to play for an enthusiastic crowd.
At this 12 months’s Trondheim Calling I noticed ten artists and bands, and listed below are images of them.
