Kalandra's First Australian Tour
Norwegian-Swedish outfit Kalandra have been conjuring sonic magic for over a decade, blending melancholic Nordic folk with raw, grit-drenched guitars and vocals that feel like they were whispered by the fjords themselves. Now, for the first time ever, Australian audiences will get to witness their hypnotic live show as they embark on a tour that promises to be nothing short of transcendental.
Led by Katrine Stenbekk’s spellbinding voice, Kalandra have crafted a sound that’s both fragile and ferocious, earning them spots on stages alongside Wardruna, Leprous, and Eivor — as well as coveted festival slots at Hellfest and Midgardsblot. They don’t just play music; they summon it.
Their latest album, A Frame of Mind, pushes their evolution even further, weaving together themes of memory, resilience, and identity into an immersive, otherworldly experience. From the delicate acoustics of “I Am” to the metallic ferocity of “Are You Ready?”, and the cinematic swells of “Segla”, this album is a journey — one that demands to be felt as much as it is heard.
Off the back of their 2020 debut The Line, a viral cover of Wardruna’s “Helvegen” (sitting pretty at nearly 6 million YouTube views), and their contribution to the Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands soundtrack, Kalandra are finally stepping onto Australian soil. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a sonic pilgrimage.
Prepare for a performance that’s as intimate as a whispered secret and as vast as the northern sky. If you’re looking for 2024’s most transformative live music experience, you’ve just found it.
