Adjágas is a band from Norway consisting of two Sámi joikers, Sara Marielle Gaup and Lawra Somby that was formed in 2004. The band's name is a Sámi word describing the mental state experienced during the transition from being asleep to being awake. Adjágas was scheduled to open the 2005 Glastonbury Festival Pyramid Stage, but their set was cancelled due to a flooding incident that caused many electrical problems.
