Vinjerock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vinjerock is a rock festival 1060 meters above sea level, at Eidsbugarden in the Jotunheimen area in southern Norway. Approximately 15 Scandinavian bands play at this festival on the first weekend in August each year.
The festival is arranged for the first time on the 4th and 5th of August 2006, with artists as Dumdum Boys, Thomas Dybdahl, Minor Majority and The Blackbirds on stage.
Vinjerock got its name from the famous Norwegian poet, Aasmund Olavsson Vinje, who built the first cabin at Eidsbugarden, and gave the surrounding mountains its name, Jotunheimen.
