NORTHLIGHT is the small-town poprock band from Sweden with thousands of followers all across the globe and a great ambition to write music with heart. The band’s songs have been streamed over 1 million times.  

With their roots within the vast fir woods of Värmland in Sweden, just by the shores of the great lake Vänern, NORTHLIGHTs founding members, vocalist and frontman Victor Bergh and bass player Per Eresund, met in high school in 2012 where they after a math lesson decided to form a band. Self-taught and without any previous experience they quickly learned to master the art of song writing and were soon joined by lead guitarist Fredrik Andersson and drummer Johan Köhler. They started rehearsing in a classroom in a nearby school, as theirs didn’t have any rooms suitable for music, and with a handful of curious friends in the audience, they made their very first live performance in the spring of 2013. Influenced by giants such as Coldplay, U2 and The Killers, the bands future ambitions stood clearly defined from the beginning, and with a total of 19 studio recordings released NORTHLIGHT have already built a steady platform to build their future upon. 

In January of 2015, the first single Scars was released, which soon was followed by the four-song EP Wide Awake Dreamer, including the song One Man Land which made it in on Sweden's biggest chart for unsigned bands, P3 Osignat Top 10. Later the same year, the Swedes made their live debut abroad as they played on one of southern Europe’s biggest festivals, INmusic Zagreb, stealing audience from the British band Placebo who shared the same gig time on the neighboring stage. Back in Sweden two months later they entered the stage on Arvika Hamnfest, one of the biggest festivals in western Sweden. 

2017 was kicked off with the new single In the Night, which lead to a signing with the Stockholm-based music publishing company Musichelp. During the summer the band played on major Swedish festivals like Putte i Parken and Luleå Hamnfestival, as well as did their debut on the showcase festival Live at Heart in Örebro. The popular indie rock song The Fool was released in September and a few months later the arena rock-flavored single Everlasting Sun along with its acclaimed music video, quickly becoming a fan favorite.  

2018 would be the year when things really started to take off for the Swedish indie pop group. It began with the release of their most successful single so far, the arena-pop song Voyagers that has been praised by fans worldwide. With the announcement later the same year of the bands second EP Finding a Sun Among a Billion Stars, a fresh new sound was introduced with a more acoustic, serious and down-to-earth ring to it. The pre-EP single Fancy Cars was followed by festival gigs on Youbloom Dublin, Viva Sounds Gothenburg and Live at Heart Örebro for the second year in a row, which lead to NORTHLIGHT being awarded the title of INEStalents 2018 and 2019. In November, the anticipated EP was released with its leading song Midas quickly becoming popular, both among music blogs, magazines and the band’s ever-growing fanbase. 

The bands awaited 11th single A Celebration of Humanity was released on May 17th, along with its photo mosaic artwork created from 532 individual photos sent in by the band’s followers all across the globe. The release was followed by the single Equally Different in 2020 with which NORTHLIGHT won the regional finals of the nation-wide music competition P4 Nästa. The band was also later selected as one among eight contestants to compete in the national finals of P4 Nästa where NORTHLIGHT ended up on 5th place among 1 150 participants across the nation. Due to the band’s successful participation in P4 Nästa, Equally Different was frequently played during the summer and autumn on the both local and national radio station P4. A few months after the release of Equally Different, the band’s music also passed 1 million streams on Spotify.
