Nobel Peace Prize Concert

The Nobel Peace Prize Concert has been illuminating December evenings since 1994, celebrating the Nobel Peace Prize laureate each year. Held annually on December 11th in Oslo, Norway, the concert has been hosted in iconic venues such as Oslo Spektrum and Telenor Arena, reaching millions of viewers worldwide.

This star-studded event features performers from a variety of musical genres, although there was a dedicated classical concert in 1995. The hosts not only provide entertainment but also emphasize the laureate's accomplishments, engage in interviews, and often feature a moving speech from the laureate.

Over the years, the concert has undergone numerous changes, including shifts in location, broadcasting partners, and program content. In 2018, the organizers paused to reconsider the concert’s format and financial model, with plans to return in 2019 with renewed vigor.

Each year, the concert lineup boasts a diverse range of global artists. Renowned talents like Paul McCartney, Sting, Alicia Keys, and John Legend have performed on its stage. Additionally, the show incorporates orchestral pieces and choir performances, ensuring it is a truly unforgettable event.

In 2018, an alternative event was organized in lieu of the regular concert due to the restructuring process. This event showcased a mix of Norwegian and international artists. The concert continues to serve as a powerful platform for promoting peace and honoring the remarkable achievements of Nobel Peace Prize laureates.
