madrugada: industrial silence

Presented here is a list of concerts Madrugada have played. As far as it is possible, information about setlists, recordings or other notes are added to the shows. This list is updated when new information surfaces, and does not claim to be one hundred percent accurate. Though efforts are made to keep this list error-free, information is mostly taken from second-hand sources, and experience has shown that errors will occur every now and then. Additions to this list are appreciated at webmaster@madrugada.de. Thank you very much.

Due to the length of this list, it has been made into several sections to make browsing through it a bit easier. Please note that the dates are presented in American format, month/date/year.

A rather disappointing crowd of only a few hundred people, though Storsteinnes is located only about an hour and a half outside of Tromsø, where Madrugada earlier in the year sold out two concerts in a matter of hours. Some young girls in the front of the crowd repeatedly yelled out for "Whatever Happened To You," to which Sivert replied that it was coming. When it was played, he dedicated it to them. Trine Strand sang on "Lift Me."

Beate Tandrevoll sang on "Lift Me," and Sivert mentioned from stage that a girl from Haugesund was supposed to sing with them, but that she had gotten frightened and had 'run home to Haugesund.' To huge cheers from the local patriots in the audience he also added that 'I guess that is what happens when you get people from Haugesund.' More than 3.500 people were in the festival area when Madrugada played, and around 3.000 people inside the tent at the most during the show.
