Kaizers Orchestra is a Norwegian alternative rock band formed in Bergen on 1 January 2000.[1] They are notable for being among the first non-black-metal Norwegian artists singing in their native language to become popular beyond Scandinavia.[2]
In 2012, the group announced that following a 2013 "Farewell Tour", they would take a long break.[3] Their final concert was held on 14 September 2013 at DNB Arena in Stavanger, and was also streamed live online.[4] In November 2022, following weeks of teasers and speculation, the band confirmed a reunion and comeback tour scheduled for 2023.[5]
