Bill Champlin Scandinavian Concerts

Holgerhund Live has the great pleasure to present Bill Champlin – The Next Level Tour with the Legend, which will come to the Norden spring 2026.

Bill Champlin is known as one of the powerful voices of the legendary band Chicago, where he contributed for many years as a singer, keyboardist and songwriter. He also has a successful solo career behind him, with several immortal songs that he himself wrote.
With him on this tour, Champlin has an elvam band, consisting of some of Norway’s very best musicians led by the organizer, conductor and musician Lars Erik Gudim. Together, they create a massive, dynamic sound that takes audiences on a journey through Champlin’s impressive musical career – from Chicago’s biggest hits to solo material and innovative arrangements.

As a special guest features the Norwegian guitarist, singer and producer Ole Børud – known for his virtuoso guitar playing, his funk- and westcoast-influenced solo projects and as a member of groups such as Extol and Fleshkiller. Ole Børud is a strong profile in Norwegian music and is equally celebrated for his solo albums as for his collaborations with international artists.

“Music has given me so much throughout my life, and I feel truly grateful for all the fans who have followed me on this journey. This tour is about taking it to the next level – musically, spiritually, and emotionally,”
says Bill Champlin.

“Getting to share the stage with Bill Champlin, one of my biggest influences, is a dream come true. His songs have shaped my musical DNA, and I look forward to bringing the audience an evening filled with energy and musical joy,”
says Ole Børud.

“It’s a great joy to assemble such a strong bond for this tour. Bill Champlin’s music deserves the best arrangements and the best energy we can give. We want to deliver an evening where every note and every song feels real – it will be a musical party,”
says Lars Erik Gudim, musical director for the tour.

“This is a tour we’re really looking forward to announcing. The combination of Bill Champlin, an electric band under the direction of Lars Erik Gudim and Ole Børud creates a unique music experience that elevates the whole evening to the next level,”
says Johan Jörneman, Holgerhund Live.
