They play Norwegian folk and folk inspired music, blended with heavy rock and electronica, sometimes called progressive folk-rock.
While some songs are original, many come from traditional Norwegian folk songs. Some songs are based on the poems of the Norwegian poet Astrid Krogh Halse. These include "Følgje" ("Companion") and "Stengd Dør ("Closed Door"). The music consists of guitaring, violins, synthesized keyboarding, drumming, and the distinctive voice of Gunnhild Sundli.
On September 6th, 2005, the band announced that they would "take a break" to pursue other stuff, mostly because of Gunnhild's desire to do something else. This came as a surprise to many, as the band has been a success both in Norway and abroad, especially in Germany. However, they released a new album in 2006, Liva, a live recording from Rockefeller, Oslo.
Gåte returned for a one-time performance during the culture festival UKA in Trondheim, on October 24, 2009. After the success with this concert, they announced they would tour festivals in Norway in the summer of 2010. The band reunited another time in 2017 and in 2024 they participated in Melodi Grand Prix, winning the competition with the song Ulveham and thus being given the right to represent Norway at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

Saw this band live @ Storjöyran back in 2003, can still say that it as one of the best live band experiences i've ever had. Small scene, not that big of a crowd, but everyone was totally into it, and the all around feel was amazing! Thank you Gåte for that moment!
@Tuzganaq
Når jeg hører denne fantastiske sang er det litt som at jeg blir teleportert til Jämtland. Det føles i hvert fall sånn ^^
@hanDanie1

@demaloe
There's 9 of them now. I really don't understand how anybody could dislike this myself. But then again ... different tastes.
It's is a very powerful song though.
