A Travel Through History: Sabaton Live in Oslo,

Unity Arena, Norway – 11 December 2025

KENNETH SPORSHEIM

An evening with Sabaton is like stepping into a time machine and travelling through the battlefields of history. Their concerts are not just shows—they’re living lessons in war, heroism, and storytelling. Ever since I first photographed them back in 2009 at a tiny bar in Trondheim, Norway, Sabaton has remained one of my absolute favourite bands to shoot. Watching their growth over the years has been remarkable; each tour feels bigger, tighter, and more impressive than the last. Even if you’re not a dedicated fan of their music, I’m certain you would still walk away entertained. Their energy and sense of theatre make the experience unforgettable.

This night in Oslo was no exception. We were treated to towering castles, blazing flames, swords, cannons, and everything in between. The production was massive, yet every detail felt purposeful. Most importantly, the band maintained an incredible connection with the audience from the very first note to the final bow. The atmosphere at Unity Arena was electric—thousands of voices singing, shouting, and celebrating the stories Sabaton bring to life.
