The story

Norsk Country Treff in Breim

Norsk Countrytreff is the largest country music festival in western Norway, held in the village of Breim since 1995. The 2026 edition runs July 8-12 and marks the festival's thirtieth anniversary, mixing Norwegian and international country, Americana and bluegrass artists across several community venues in Gloppen.

Norsk Countrytreff started in 1995 in Breim, a village in the Gloppen municipality of western Norway better known for its fjords and mountains than for country music.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Breim is a small village rather than a city, yet Norsk Countrytreff has built a festival there substantial enough to attract international headliners including Charley Pride, Emmylou Harris, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stuart and Tanya Tucker over its three-decade history, an unusual concentration of major country music names for rural western Norway

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival spreads across the whole municipality rather than a single arena, with an annual concert inside the historic Breim Church and a bluegrass show staged at the unconventional venue of Frislidlada, part of the Nordfjord Folk Museum, giving the event a distinctly local, community-rooted character alongside its international bookings

03

The city starts moving

Celebrating its thirtieth year in 2026, the festival has become the anchor cultural event for the surrounding Gloppen municipality
