Asgard Jamming Tour

The dates

In Norse mythology, Asgard was the fortress of the gods, the center of the universe, only accessible by the magical rainbow bridge. What Olympus was to the Greeks, Asgard was for the Vikings. It was the home of Odin, Thor, Freyr and many others. One day, Freyr, the god of fertility, good weather and crops, decided to climb to the highest point of Asgard, Hlidskjalf the viewpoint of Odin, prohibited to all other gods. From there, you could see the whole world and all who roamed there. Here Freyr saw Gerda for the first time, and he fell madly in love. But to marry Gerda, Freyr had to give away his magic sword. Without his sword, Freyr was helpless against the fire giant named Surtr and he died during the war of Ragnarok.

Could it be that after his death, Freyr settled himself on the banks of the Meuse, near the town of Dinant, Belgium? Here he prepared us to climb to the summit of Asgard, without using the rainbow bridge! For years we worshiped Freyr and every weekend we prayed to him. He taught us many things: technique, finger strength, endurance, perseverance, friendship, creativity, humility... And then he sent us on a mission ...
