Alanis Morissette

Wednesday 11. June 2025

Alanis Morissette will headline Bergenfest 2025 Wednesday, June 11. 

Alanis Morissette is one of the great heroines of the '90s, and her significant impact continues to inspire fans and artists around the world. It is therefore with great pleasure that we announce the acclaimed Canadian artist as the headliner at Bergenfest on Wednesday, June 11, 2025! 

2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the iconic debut album Jagged Little Pill. The album was not just a time capsule filled with '90s tracks that everyone knows, but also established Alanis as one of the decade’s most central voices. Her uncompromising honesty, introspective lyrics, and unforgettable music videos set a new standard for what a female singer-songwriter could be. 

This groundbreaking album was the first of ten critically acclaimed and deeply expressive releases, which, along with her powerful performances, have earned her 14 Canadian Juno Awards, 7 Grammy Awards, a Brit Award, 75 million albums sold, and several Grammy and Golden Globe nominations. She was recently inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, in addition to her place in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. 

We can hardly wait to experience live versions of classics like "Ironic," "Thank U," "You Oughta Know," and many more, performed by one of the most influential artists of the '90s at Plenen – Bergenhus Fortress. As Alanis herself might say: "I've got one hand in my pocket," and the other should be holding a Wednesday ticket. "You oughta know" – this is a night you won’t want to miss!
