Joshua Idehen

British-Nigerian spoken word artist Joshua Idehen comes to Parkteatret on Friday 4 December 2026, following the release of his album «I Know You’re Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try».

At a time marked by what seems like an endless stream of bad news, Joshua Idehen does not pretend that everything is all right. Instead, he creates a musical and poetic space to sit with what is difficult while also finding hope, community and energy.

On his new album, Idehen combines his distinctive spoken word style with electronic soundscapes that move between the intimate, euphoric and danceable.

The album was made with his creative partner, musician and producer Ludvig Parment of Saturday Monday. The collaboration has resulted in a powerful and uplifting collection of songs that spans the full spectrum of emotions, from grief and vulnerability to euphoria and hope.

After several years of developing his distinctive style, Idehen takes his lyrical world to new heights on the album. His words resonate with both seriousness and warmth, while Parment’s enveloping production ensures that the music invites listeners not only to reflect, but also to let loose on the dance floor.
