Oslo - Norway - page 150

With arguably the best sound system in the city, this is a die-hard house- and electro-music
club. In addition to Friday and Saturday, it's also open on some Thursdays.

Dattera Til Hagen BAR
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; www.dattera.no ; Grønland 10; 11am-1am Mon-Wed, 11am-2am Thu,

11am-3.30am Fri & Sat, noon-midnight Sun)
The trippy, flower-power back garden of this bar is especially busy in the summer. DJs and
live music often fill the courtyard with sound.

Live Music
Oslo has a thriving live-music scene - it's said that the city hosts around 5000 gigs a year.
Keep your ear to the ground in summer to hear about outdoor concerts at Vigeland Park -
a weird and wonderful venue.
The city's largest concert halls, Oslo Spektrum ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ;
www.oslospektrum.no ; Sonja Henies plass 2) and Rockefeller Music Hall ( MAP GOOGLE MAP
; www.rockefeller.no ; Torggata 16) , once a bathhouse, host a wide range of artists and events.

Blå JAZZ
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; www.blaaoslo.no ; Brenneriveien 9c; admission Nkr100-180)
It would be a pity to leave Oslo without checking out Blå, which features on a global list
of 100 great jazz clubs compiled by the savvy editors at the US jazz magazine Down Beat.
As one editor put it, 'To get in this list means that it's quite the club'.
Sometimes it veers into other musical styles such as salsa, and when there's no live mu-
sic, DJs get the crowds moving.

Mono LIVE MUSIC
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; www.cafemono.no ; Pløens gate 4; 11pm-3.30am)
An upbeat place, Mono is the alternative club of choice with the cool and beautiful of
Oslo. It's known for booking the best up-and-coming indie bands.
