Zupermaria will perform at Bergenfest 2026 Saturday, June 13.
Not all superheroes wear capes. Some deliver songs in thick Bergen dialect, soaring pop choruses and stories that feel a little too relatable. This summer, Zupermaria finally returns to a stage near you at Bergenfest.
When she performed at Bergenfest in 2022, long queues formed outside the Magic Mirrors venue. The atmosphere hit boiling point from the very first second, and even critics usually known for resisting enthusiasm handed out top scores in the region’s largest newspaper. When she returned to the stage a few years later, another major Norwegian outlet declared that the legacy of pop icon Gabrielle is in safe hands.
Drawing inspiration from Bergen voices like Lars Vaular and Jan Eggum, while channeling the pop craftsmanship of artists such as Veronica Maggio, Zupermaria creates infectious pop songs with a distinctly Bergen perspective — songs that dance effortlessly between celebration and the moments when life feels anything but easy.
After several years of new perspectives and an album that takes an honest look at the chaotic and destructive parts of your twenties, she returns with renewed force. Zupermaria delivers pop with pulse, personality and a stage presence that hits right home.
