This year’s Bergen International Festival was again a major success. Organized between 25 May and 08 June, the Norwegian festival presented more than 350 events at more than 40 venues. They were attended by around 125.000 visitors, an increase of 20 per cent from the previous record year of 2015. Many events had free entrance, but for the other concerts 37.000 tickets have been sold – 2.000 up from the 2015 record of 35.000.
