Live at Vega is a two-disc live album released by Norwegian alternative rock group Kaizers Orchestra, on March 6, 2006. It features their recorded concert performance at Vega, a concert hall in Copenhagen, Denmark, on October 6, 2005. It was originally meant to be released alongside the DVD recording of the same concert, Viva La Vega, but the release of the DVD was delayed until later that year. The inside information reads:

Who would have thought that a rattling, rampaging, Norwegian singing orchestra would have the crowds go crazy at Vega in Copenhagen one October evening in 2005? Probably the same people who would bet their whole record collection that thousands of Germans, Swiss and Spanish would one day holler along to songs in a language they did not understand, dance the "Ompa", and shout "Hallelujah" to six saviours in Swedish suits playing gypsy music from Norway.

Live at Vega is proof that anything is possible; that a spastic, foreign-sounding orchestra from tiny Norway can become one of the world’s greatest live bands. The band that lives up to it’s own slogan: "Kontroll på Kontinentet", Rule the Continent, That band is Kaizers Orchestra.

The grand "Maestro Tour 05" saw Kaizers Orchestra playing 65 concerts throughout ten countries over a period of three months. These CDs gives you the entire 30th concert, from one of the best concert venues in Europe.
