Christmas doesn't have to be quiet to make an impact. It can also be direct, intimate, and full of power.

Odd René Andersen balances the heartfelt and the powerful in a way few others can. With a voice that carries both weight and vulnerability, he gives Christmas songs an expression that is honest, unfiltered, and musically solid. There is room here for the big, uplifting moments, but also for the quieter moments that stay with you.

For many years, he has been one of Norway's most distinctive voices, and through his victory in Stjernekamp he demonstrated how he immerses himself in songs and makes them his own. At Stjernenatt 2026, audiences will experience both sides of his artistry: the power and the emotion. The band enhances the dynamics, and together they create a concert that moves between the powerful and the intimate without losing direction.

This is a Christmas concert that both uplifts and resonates. With style. With energy. And with substance.

According to the original plan, Kinokino was scheduled to reopen to the public at the end of October 2026. Due to delays, the project period has had to be extended. Therefore, this event has been moved from Kinokino to the Small Hall at Sandnes Cultural Centre. The concert start time has also been changed from 19:00 to 20:00.
