Volunteer

Working with one of our staff members it will be your job to make sure the venues are ready for when the audience arrive. You will be responsible for a couple of other volunteers, and you make sure they know their tasks. This also involves a short debrief with the volunteers after the end of the show. As an arena host you can expect more responsibility and longer shifts than other volunteers. This will vary a lot between different venues and productions.

Transport of guests/artists and transport of goods, mainly to and from the airport.
Class B driver's license required. You use the Northern Lights Festival's own vehicles.
The transport team has two different categories, passenger transport and equipment transport. You get the opportunity to choose which one in the registration. Equipment transport may involve some heavier lifting.

Those who are on transport will initially be put on shifts of up to 8 hours each and a detailed list will come later.

We need you who can be a welcoming face to our events. It will be your job to greet our audience and scan and sell tickets on cite before the concerts. Nordlysfestivalen use AntiTickets as our ticket provider. Antitickets has a very easy to work system for hosts, and you will be given a breif run through before the audience arrive. You will have to be able to download the app to your own cell-phone.

We also might need you for other small tasks before and after the concerts.

We have a lot of guests/artists coming in from out of town, and we want to give them the opportunity to see some of Tromsø and the surrounding area in the short time that they are visiting.

For this task we need you who know the city well – either because you’ve lived here your entire life or because you are a great explorer! It is nice if you can provide some history, and maybe a crazy story about what happened at a corner in Storgata thirty years ago – or last week. We want you who love speaking to people and who knows where to grab lunch, and what you HAVE to see when you’re in Tromsø but don’t have much time. It’s a task you’ll have the opportunity to define a bit yourself and depends on what the guests have time to do.

Your task will be to make sure that everyone who’s a part of the festival has food and drinks availiable. You will be responsible for distributing the agreed upon food and drinks to the backstage area at all our venues. You also make sure the volunteers have snacks and drinks availiable, and serve and prepare a meal for the people with long shifts.
The shifts will be set up forup to eight hours.

Are you light on your feet and take on tasks head on? Then we need you. During the festival, it's hard to tell where it's burning. We need you who can jump up and get to where you're needed. When things are calm, you stay in the festival hub and help with welfare and catering.
It is great if you also have your drivers license - but not a requirement.

The shifts will be set up for up to eight hours.

It's not often - but sometimes things have to be rigged and moved. Do you have a body that can handle lifting? We need you! The shifts are usually short and intense, and will be set up as needed.
