Through deep musical research, he has explored old American folk music and archival recordings. He understands the roots of this music and has made it his own. And yet—he has never been to the U.S. He jokes about it at concerts, and you can’t help but wonder: If he ever went, would he lose the magic that surrounds his music?

Luckily, he hasn’t gone yet. Instead, he has been tapping into the Faroese song treasure, and his latest concerts with new Faroese songs suggest that he may be making his best music yet.

Come and experience one of the very best Faroese artists live at G! Festival 2025.

Normally, we reveal one name from the G! 2025 lineup every Tuesday, but this week is Spæl Føroyskt (Play Faroese) week, where we focus entirely on Faroese artists—announcing a new name every day. Look forward to Hallur Joensen, Marius DC, Beinir, Benjamin Rajani, Greta Svabo, Jóannes Joensen / Bass Elvis, GØ, jazzygold, Lyon Hansen, and many more.

G! Festival takes place July 17–19, 2025. You have to be there!
