Oslo Pride makes the popular parties called “Ladies Night” and “The Closing Party” during EuroPride in Oslo, on Friday 27th and Saturday 28^th of June.

Oslo Pride expect many international guest to attend the festival this year, because we are the host of EuroPride 2014. Therefore we increase our capacity the busiest weekend (27th - 29th of June). At the same time as we make the Ladies Night party and The Closing Night party, we also invite to two separate concerts with Margaret Berger and Josefin Winther at Sentrum Scene.

“With the increase in visiting guest from home and abroad to EuroPride, we have chosen to bet big. In addition to the parties at Rockefeller, we also have booked the stage at Sentrum Scene on Friday and Saturday,” says festival chief Stein Runar Østigaard, and he goes on:

”We are committed to making EuroPride in Oslo a festival that is affordable to attend, especially for all our visiting guests. Therefore we have created combination tickets and the EuroPass. For example, you can buy tickets to the Ladies Night on Friday, and catch the concert with Josefin Winther on Saturday for 400 NOK. Of course it is also possible to buy separate tickets for each event,” explains Østigaard (see all tickets at the bottom of the article).

Berger is known for her undeniable stage presence and intoxicating vocals, and has been making huge waves beyond her mother country, across Europe, U.S. and on the web worldwide. Berger has currently released her new single "Scream", which is listed by the Norwegian broadcaster NRK P3.

“I'm looking forward to the EuroPride concert on Friday 27 June. In many ways I feel that I have a love affair with the queer audience, and that we understand each other. EuroPride 2014 in Oslo is huge and is an important event, and I am pleased to be able to attend. I fully support the message of the festival: That everyone should be able to be themselves, proud, confident and independent,” says Margaret Berger.
