Norwegian-Sámi artist EMIL KÁRLSEN has announced the postponement of his upcoming album “Nannámii” due to health reasons. The record, set for release on By Norse Music, will now be released the September 25, 2026.

Pre-orders will remain valid, contact By Norse directly if you have any questions about your pre-order. Emil Kárlsen´s upcoming shows in Oslo, Bodø and Tromsø have been moved.

Full statement by Emil:

Dear followers, friends and family. I am sorry to announce that my album release and upcoming shows in Oslo, Bodø and Tromsø this spring will be postponed. It is not an easy decision to make: I feel a big responsibility for everyone who were involved and made plans to attend the show, both venues, organizers, co-musicians and most of all my fantastic audience, and I know some of you are traveling far.

But I have been pushing it too hard for a while now, and managed to turn life completely upside down. Life is more than I can handle these days, so I need to turn on the brakes and use the spring to get my head and health back on the right track again.

I am very proud of this album, and It’s important to me to give you the best possible albumrelease and to be capable of delivering top notch live shows. But releasing an entire album and putting up big shows demands more than I can give at this point.

Therefore, the new album-release date will instead be September 25th.

Concerts at Tromsø Kulturhus will take place February 4th 2027 and at Sinus Bodø February 5th 2027.

Your tickets will be moved to the new date, and if you can’t attend the new dates, you can ask for the tickets to be refunded within the next three weeks. As for the concert in Oslo we are working on a new time and place. The opera is fully booked this autumn, and next year they will be closed for renovation, so we will be back with more information as soon as we landed a new spot.

All tickets for the opera will be refunded and more information will follow shortly.

I am very sorry, but I hope you understand, and I look forward to see you all again.

-Emil
