Adjágas is a band from Sápmi, Norway composed of Sámi joikers, Lawra Somby and Sara Marielle Gaup, as well as a band of musicians. The group's name is a Sámi word describing the mental state experienced between waking and sleeping.
Adjágas was scheduled to open the 2005 Glastonbury Festival Pyramid Stage, but due to a flooding incident that caused electrical problems, their set was cancelled. However, they returned in 2007 to open the Pyramid Stage.
