ABOUT UKEN
UKEN in Bergen is one of Norway’s largest student festivals and the biggest cultural festival on the west coast, organized entirely by students in Bergen. The festival itself will take place in March 2026, but preparations are already well underway. UKEN—and not least the lead-up to it—will undoubtedly be the most fun, exciting, and memorable thing you’ll do during your time as a student in Bergen. Here, you’ll connect with people across age groups, genders, and fields of study, take on responsibility, gain a wealth of valuable experience, and perhaps most importantly—have an absolutely incredible time!
At the very heart of it all is the UKE Revue. With traditions dating back to 1946, the revue has been the launchpad for many well-known performers and has won several national awards in the Norwegian Student Revue Championships—most recently in October 2022! In addition to the revue, UKEN offers everything from large-scale concerts to intimate gigs, world record attempts, comedy shows, charity runs, children’s and senior citizens’ days, and much, much more! Past UKEN performers include 50 Cent, Karpe, Backstreet Boys, and Kygo. The magical atmosphere when some of the world’s biggest stars take the stage is truly indescribable—for both guests and fUKENctionaries.
All that said, what really makes UKEN something truly special is the diversity and camaraderie found among everyone involved. There are roles and tasks for every interest, and we can guarantee both memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. Now, UKEN26 is hiring for the second time, and we’re announcing many important and fun positions—we strongly recommend that you apply! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. This is something you truly don’t want to miss!
