“We are really looking forward to celebrating the release of Firmament with our home crowd," singer and keyboard player Oskar Holldorff tells Prog. "Especially as we will be joined on stage by Ellen-Martine Gismervik and Hanna Nicoline Krohn Moland, who played cello and violin on the album. We will play a longer set than we’ve ever played before, and debuting a lot of new songs from Firmament alongside some of the songs from Flown.”
