André Rieu

Text from the organiser:

André Rieu brings classical music into folk festival territory when he returns to Oslo in 2026!

The world star has renewed the classical music experience and turned his concerts into epic events loved by millions of people around the world. Few artists have managed to blur the line between classical and pop music as successfully as the Dutch violinist and conductor. Together with his 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra, André Rieu offers an energetic mix of classical music, waltzes, film music, opera and pop songs - spiced up with surprises, humor and an ending that is always a party.

On Saturday, June 13, you can experience André Rieu at Unity Arena in Oslo!

With Rieu, it's about timeless emotions that really hit home - or as he himself describes it: "Emotions are the key! When a piece of music touches my heart, I know it will touch your heart, too."

His concerts are a reminder that classical music is not just a legacy, but a living language that can speak to people of all ages. Over 22 million people follow the Dutch superstar on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and he has 2.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

There are 120 people on André's payroll, plus around 100 freelancers who work during the tours. His orchestra members and soloists come from sixteen different nations. André also has his own costume workshop, as well as four stages and instrument setups to handle transportation between continents.

With over 40 million albums sold and more than 700,000 audience members annually at over 80 concerts around the world, André Rieu is undoubtedly one of the most successful live artists of our time. His tours regularly take him to sold-out venues from Chile to Abu Dhabi.

On Saturday, June 13, 2026, he returns to Oslo for an evening filled with romance, joy and great emotion. His concerts in Norway always sell out, and this will be no exception. André Rieu is not just for one night - he is for life.
