Gåte

Biography

Gåte (pronounced: ['go:tɘ], 'gôte') is a Norwegian folk rock band from Trondheim. The group announced it wanted to take a break on September 6, 2005, following the desire of Gunnhild, the singer, to move on to other things. Twelve years later, in 2017, the band returned to the stage with new albums and a new lineup of members. In August 2023, Sveinung Sundli announced he was leaving Gåte, citing the impossibility of balancing his family life, artistic career, and extra-musical activities (he is also a restaurateur). Following their victory at the Melodi Grand Prix 2024, the band represents Norway at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song Ulveham. The band was formed in Trondheim in April 1999 and originally comprised Sveinung Sundli, his younger sister Gunnhild Sundli (vocals), Gjermund Landrø (bass, backing vocals), Martin Langlie (drums), and Magnus Robot Børmark (guitar, keyboards).
