Suffocate For F**k Sake
Formed in Sweden in 2004, Suffocate For F**k Sake (often stylized as SFFS) emerged as a fiercely independent voice in the underground music scene, blending post-rock, screamo, post-hardcore, sludge, and spoken-word with cinematic atmospheres and raw emotional depth.

Vi Som Älskade Varandra Så Mycket:
Formed in Stockholm in 2012, Vi Som Älskade Varandra Så Mycket is a six-piece screamo/post-hardcore collective known for its deeply emotional soundscapes and layered instrumentation. The core members include Arvid Ringborg (vocals), Gösta Jonasson (drums), Jens Gentzschein Lager (guitar), Johan Angantyr (guitar), Mark Shaw (guitar), and Tomas Brisman (bass).

Some members are also active in other DIY and underground bands such as EPHEMERA, Young Team, and Speedmarket Avenue. Notably, guitarist Mark Shaw had previously played with The Khayembii Communiqué and Song of Zarathustra and had releases on Blood of the Young Records.
Shortly after forming, the band recorded their debut EP "Träd Dör Stående" in 2012. The next year, they added Mark Shaw. Their music is a bold fusion of melodic post-hardcore and screamo, drawing inspiration from the emotionally rich traditions of the early 2000s with a cinematic, layered approach. The Swedish-language vocals coach in intensity, from melancholic whispers to visceral screams.

Lørdag! Kristiansand! VIVID. a post_rock festival presenterer to band på Vaktbua - I ekte VIVID style med visuals og STOR lyd!

Inngang: 280/230kr. Om ikke utsolgt så fås det billetter i døra som koster 20kr ekstra.

Meadows & io er en kameleon - en identitet i kontinuerlig forandring. En maksimalistisk, støyende og dynamisk gjeng med lidenskap for uttrykk som varer lenger enn din vanlige fire-minutters poplåt. Musikken deres er svært melodisk i kjernen, med ord og harmonier innkapslet i massive synthesizere, sølvskimrende gitarer, suggererende bass og bombastiske trommer.

I 2024 gav Meadows & io “ Above and Below”, 15 år etter debutalbumet Fieldwork!

«A multi-sensory journey that challenges the conventions and elevates their music to an immersive, transcendent experience.»
-It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine

«Above and Below just keeps on giving with those delicious keyboard leads and atmospheres... This is superb stuff that shouldn’t be overlooked...»

Sutteklut

Sutteklut is an audiovisual performance exploring how sound, light, and space affect our perception and state of mind. Through ambient soundscapes, hypnotic rhythms, and reactive visuals, the piece invites the audience on a meditative, trance-like journey.
Performed live by David Goncalves aka "Doudou", with multiple instruments and synchronized visuals, Sutteklut balances between science and spirituality, drawing inspiration from frequency, chakras, and binaural beats. This is not just a concert — it’s a sensory experience designed to be felt as much as heard.

S A R R A M is the instrumental avantgarde solo project of the Sardinian based Valerio Marras, active since 2017. A crushing but yet graceful composition where heavy ambient, electronica, doomjazz and minimal post-rock blend to invite the listener to an intense sound journey. S A R R A M is actually on tour to promote his fifth record "Pàthei Màthos", out September 1st. for Subsound Records, on vinyl only. The title is taken from Agamemnon’s Aeschylus: Pàthei Màthos is about learning through suffering.

Musically speaking is a deep sound journey sorrounded
by ethereal voices (by Lili Refrain & Dalila Kayros), floating cellos (Tobias Vethake), pulsing soundwaves, crushing and doom-ish layers: an authentic mix of experiences and feelings.

Valerio Marras has released albums for Subsound Records (It), Midira Records (D), Talk About records (Sardinia) playing intensely all over Europe including appearances at LEM in Spain,
Dunk!Festival in Belgium, Moving Noises and Schwarzer Herbst in Germany, Who Needs Lyrics in Slovakia, KME, Signal fest, Paolo Fresu's Insulae Lab, Pinacoteca Nazionale di Sassari etc,
collaborations with MAN museum and Ciusa Musem in Nuoro, Museo Nivola

LEONOV
Helt siden starten har Leonov funnet inspirasjon til sin eteriske
doomgaze/postmetal i det eksistensielle – lyden av en verden som kollapser. I 2023 ga Leonov ut sitt tredje album _Procession_ gjennom Vinter Records, et album hvor Leonov blander progressivitet med inderlige varme passasjer, noe som gir produksjonen et uhyggelig og filmatisk, nesten overjordisk preg. Albumet fikk strålende anmeldelser, og ble blant annet beskrevet som «one of the most breathtaking albums of the year» (Echoes & Dust) og som «right at the forefront of todays Post-Metal scene (Veil of Sound). Bandet fortsetter å skape tung, atmosfærisk musikk uten sjangerbegrensninger, og er i disse dager i prosessen med å ferdigstille en ny EP.

SUPPORT: FEVERSEA
"Feversea er et metallband fra Oslo som spiller post-metal med tydelige pek i retning svartmetall, sludge metal og shoegaze. Uttrykket befinner seg i skjæringspunktet mellom hurtig black’n’roll-aggresjon, tung og voldsom metallriffing og ritualistiske og luftige lydbilder. Bandet startet opp som et post-punk-prosjekt, men lot et musikalsk stilskifte munne ut i en atmosfærisk og ekspansiv demoutgivelse i 2023 og påfølgende konserter. Det siste året har Feversea som en del av ekstremmetallscenen i Oslo spilt inn og produsert sitt debutalbum, der de utforsker temaer rundt menneskets begynnelse og slutt, samt forminskede plass i verden.

Our Story

VIVID. is an annual post-rock/post-metal festival held in the town of Kristiansand on the South coast of Norway.

When we opened our doors to the festival for the first time on September 25th, 2015, we set out to differentiate ourselves from similar festivals by adding a unique visual aspect to the already highly evocative aural spectrum of the genres by letting visual artists create their own interpretation of the music.

Vivid is an annual Post-Rock/ Post-Metal festival held on the south coast in Norway, having established itself as a unique music festival emphasising audiovisual expressions, inclusion and hospitality. VIVID, "evocative, lively" describes not only our understanding of the post-rock genre - throughout the two days of the festival we want to expose post-rock to a new group of people, and to become a vivid cross road for both artists and audience, and musicians and visual artists. The festival is dependent on volunteer contributions from both artists, organisers and friends alike. Throughout the two day festival there will be tea- and food gatherings, and if we manage workshops where international artists playing at the festival shares some of their knowledge and experience. The line up consist of international and national bands in the post-rock / post-metal genre.
