    Look back at LookEast! III

    On April 26, LookEast! arranged the third instalment of our showcase events. This is a look back at the LookEast! III event in April 2025.

    This time, we had several interesting acts, and the night ended with the start of Isiliel and The Lilin’s 2025 World Tour.

    The other artists featured were Kafai, Sukosi, some great, young K-pop dancers from Hadeland Folkehøyskole and the outstanding Wooli Duo. The audience fell completely silent in awe and amazement when they took to the stage.

    The evening provided us with some wonderful, beautiful, amazing, and enjoyable moments.

    We already hear rumours that artists are getting more jobs after being part of one of our showcase evenings.

    Enjoy this small compilation showing some clips of what the audience experienced on this wonderful spring evening at SubScene in Oslo.

    LookEast on tour with Isiliel and The Lilin!

    For the last few years, LookEast have been lucky to work with the Japanese artist Isiliel and her Norwegian band The Lilin.

    This has now resulted in LookEast joining them on their upcoming EU tour, and Kai Olav from LookEast has now left Norway to join Isiliel and The Lilin on tour.

    LookEast, and especially Kai Olav, has played a huge part in the last two years development of Isiliel and The Lilin. He will now be assisting them with all kinds of tasks that needs to be done during a tour, so he will be a busy bee.

    The Lilin is a result of Kai Olavs connections, and the members were hand picked by him. Not only for their amazing skills on the instruments, but also personalities that would go together with Himari and Ricky.

    We’ve also had hands in the making of the last album, and it’s been a joy to work together with all involved.

    So if you see Kai Olav running around a venue, going from task to task, say a big HELLO to him and buy him a beer. He deserves it!

    The day brought a lot of memories, interesting cultural meetings and new contacts we will take with us in our future endeavors.

    Next year we will hopefully be a part of this and have our own little stage, or maybe feature something on the main stage. Follow our social media to be the first to know.

  • MAD JAMIE – Concert in Kongsvinger, August 22, 2025

    FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 2025 – A BLAZING START TO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR!

    A bold collaboration between LookEast! and Vinger Blues & Rock Club

    It might feel a bit early (and rude!) to mention back-to-school season already…
    But we can’t hold this in any longer – it’s time for the big reveal!

    • 🎸 MAD JAMIE (JPN)
    • 💥 SOLDIERS OF ANARCHY

    Get your tickets at Billetto!

    MAD JAMIE performed at the club back in May 2024 — delighting some, and shocking others!
    We rarely (if ever) saw such a large crowd from Oslo at a concert in Kongsvinger — and yes, fans even came from Finland.

    And by the way — yes, it was her who featured clips from Kongsvinger in her music video “Baby Star”, released shortly after the show.
    This might be the first time Kongsvinger ever appeared in a Japanese music video!

    Watch it here:

    From MAD JAMIE’s Latest Press Release (Excerpt):

    MAD JAMIE
    A solo project by Kanjousen Akubi, the punk rock idol from Udagawachō, Shibuya — waving the banner of “IDOL PUNK ROCK.”
    Kawaii is Fxxk!!!

    Born from the live idol scene, Kanjousen Akubi sings her way to rock stardom in live houses, alongside the JAMIEs (MAD JAMIE fans).

    Breaking the silence since the release of THIS is NONFICTION, the first album after MAD JAMIE’s revival, she now brings long-awaited new songs “THE MAD PARADE” and “Night Ray” on a European tour.

    Let’s make MAD JAMIE EUROPE TOUR 2025 – THE MAD PARADE – the hottest, wildest tour ever!
