Melis

Description:

Melis, who is currently a member of the European Parliament, takes Festiviteten September 17th!

Sandefjord girl Lise Mæland always knew she wanted to sing. From X Factor, backing vocalist for Gabrielle, and voice actress, she would only become the artist Melis in 2019. 

Her debut album, "I Still Write Songs About You" from 2022, would prove to be a door-opener for several major collaborations, including with the world-renowned producer duo Stargate. In 2024, her critically acclaimed second album "Someone To Come Home To" was released, which received a 5 in Aftenposten, and Melis embarked on a tour of Norway, selling out the Parkteatret in Oslo, among other places.

The collaboration with Stargate's team continued in the winter of 2025, and resulted in the EP 'Give it All' which was released on March 27, 2026, where the man who has mixed for Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar and Sam Smith, Thomas Warren, is also behind the mix. The single 'Give It All' is A-listed on NRK P3, and a new Parkteateret concert will take place on September 24, 2026. 

But first Melis comes to Haugesund! 

With “Give It All,” Melis delivers an energetic 80s EP about freedom, self-confidence, and uncompromising love. Inspired by Prince, Whitney Houston, and the glamorous Pretty Woman aesthetic, she combines big choruses, guitar solos (preferably with the wind in your hair) and a clear message: either you give it your all – or you let go. “Give It All” marks a new chapter filled with drive, self-worth, and a look forward. As Melis says, “freedom suits you!”
