ABOUT US
In the beginning God created Rock''n Roll...... in 2006 Kongsberg in Norway Siggen created his club "Siggen's Hardrock Aften".
He hosted 3 partys every year for faithful metal headz that had fun and enjoyed good music.
Every party was special, because the theme was that only one year got presented on each party. He presented the band very well, with a full bio. Sometimes video was showed and other times just the music. He let us discovered many different artists.
It got very popular, from a few friends in the beginning, it grew to over 50 regulars, and over the past 14 years over 150 people have visited the party, shared music, eat a lot of pizza and drink a "few" beer.
Oslo Hardrock Festival are based on the ide' of Siggens Hardrock Aften and we would like to thank him for the inspiration.
