The Midnattsrocken festival was first arranged during the summer of 1984. Since then many great artists both domestic and international have performed on the stage at Brennelvneset, located innermost in the Porsanger fjord in the county of Finnmark. The festival has evolved into the largest outdoor music festival in the counties of Finnmark and Northern Troms.
Midnattsrocken is an outdoor music festival. The festival area is located just outside the village of Lakselv, in the very heart of Finnmark (Norway’s northernmost county). Surrounded by a beach, a river, mountains and the Porsanger fjord, we like to call it the most exotic festival area in the world.
The audience record for Midnattsrocken is over 11.000 (2009). This is almost 15 percent of Finnmark’s total population.
Midnattsrocken has its own festival camp.
