Norwegian music constellation Wardruna, renowned for their innovative renditions of Norse traditions, announces their highly anticipated debut tour of Australia and New Zealand in January 2025.
Since their inception in 2009, Wardruna has captivated audiences worldwide, transcending genres and cultures with their rich soundscapes rooted in ancient Norse traditions across five stunning albums. Utilizing historical Nordic instruments and themes of nature and mythology, Wardruna’s music evokes primal emotions and deep connections to mother nature and our ancient past.
With major contributions to TV series Vikings and the video game Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Wardruna has garnered a global following. Their sold-out performances at major festivals include iconic venues across the globe such as the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Acropolis and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
In 2024, Wardruna announces a vibrant new cycle with the release of their new single, "Hertan," the proto-Scandinavian word for heart. The new song is steeped in Wardruna tradition, exploring the duality of the heart with the rhythm, flow, and pulse found in nature and all forms of life.
Composer Einar Selvik shares their excitement for the upcoming tour: “It is always a special feeling to plan and announce a new tour. This time, perhaps more so than usual, as we are visiting quite a few parts of the world where we have yet to perform with Wardruna. We greatly look forward to the chance to make new bonds in new lands.”
