Insomnia Festival is an annual festival that seeks to evolve the creative energy the north has given rise to by creating a platform for new electronic music and techno culture. Insomnia is a festival for innovative electronic music – which means music created with electronic contraptions. The creative process within the genre is as varied as the music itself, and the festival hopes to display a wide variety of it. Insomnia Festival is a non-profit event, with our main goal to create an artistic melting pot and an important platform for innovative artists above the arctic circle.

The Festival also combines new music with new technology and design through public seminars during the festival. It takes shape through live concerts, dj/club events, seminar, workshops, exhibitions, performance, installations and debates.

The festival has its base in Tromsø. The city was Norway’s capital of house and techno when the genre first emerged and is renowned for breeding cutting-edge artists within the electronic music field. Tromsø City is based on an island surrounded by majestic mountains which are covered in snow most of the year. About 70.000 people live here and 10.000 of those are students. Insomnia festival is placed in an environment that gives creative energy and mental space- we therefore recommend both artists and audience to stay for the whole week for recreation and inspiration.
