Folken, Music venue in Stavanger, Norway.

Folken is a music venue with three separate stages that accommodate different types of performances. The main hall holds around 650 people, while a smaller basement area offers a more intimate setting for shows.

The venue was established in 1988 and became a key music space in Stavanger. It has maintained its role as a regional center for live performances ever since.

The venue partners with local artists and the university to present performances, and it hosts regular quiz nights in its bar area. Visitors find this a gathering place where music and community connection take center stage.

Visitors can purchase tickets online and benefit from student discounts with proper identification. The venue offers free WiFi throughout, and there is a bar and cafe area for refreshments.

The venue is run by volunteer groups who handle technical support, safety, and hospitality duties. This setup makes it a rare example of a community-driven venue where local commitment shapes how it operates.
