The Best Dance Weekend of the Year

On May 29–30, 2027, it’s that time again—welcome to the best dance weekend of the year!

Up North Battle is an annual event where, since 2015, we’ve been celebrating hip-hop culture, with dance, music, and community at the center. Over two intense days, the Norrlandsoperan is filled with battles, stage performances, and a unique energy that emerges from the interaction between dancers and the audience.

Expect a weekend filled with action, music, and a lively atmosphere, where you, the audience, are an important part of the experience.

Welcome to the community—see you on the dance floor!

The best dance weekend of the year

May 29–30, 2027 – get ready for the best dance weekend of the year!

Up North Battle is our annual celebration of hip-hop culture, where dance, music, and community come together. Since 2015, we’ve been bringing dancers and audiences to Norrlandsoperan for a weekend full of energy, creativity, and connection.

Over the course of two days, you’ll experience battles, performances, and the special atmosphere that arises when people gather around the dance floor.

Expect great music, a lively atmosphere, and a crowd that’s just as much a part of the experience as the dancers.

Join the community—see you on the dance floor!
