Lindberg is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:
Lindberg is a Japanese Pop rock/rock band that was active from 1989 to 2002 and again in 2009. After another hiatus it is active once again, announced in a New Year's announcement under the title "Re:LINDBERG".
Lindberg typically appealed to the junior high to early high school crowd, and was unique in that in the time of its inception in 1989, few Japanese "rock" bands had female members, much less a female lead singer. The band retired in 2002 following the marriage of the lead singer, Watase Maki, to the lead guitarist Hirakawa Tatsuya; rounding out the band were bassist Kawazoe Tomohisa and drummer Koyanagi "Cherry" Masanori.
Kawazoe Tomohisa, one of the band's musicians, became a founding member of another Japanese female-fronted Pop/Rock band, Ai+Band, in 2003.
Lindberg reunited in 2009 and released their twentieth anniversary album Lindberg XX in April 2009 through their new label Avex Trax, featuring new songs and re-recordings of their popular hits. Also in 2009, Lindberg members Maki Watase and Tatsuya Hirakawa began writing and producing music for Jurian Beat Crisis, a Japanese singer that debuted that year.

Since first becoming musically active in 2001, Hayes has released four studio albums.
"Oliver" was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1979, performed in Norwegian by Anita Skorgan. This was Skorgan's second participation in the Contest; in 1977 she had placed 14th out of 18 entries with "Casanova".
The song is a moderately up-tempo number, with Skorgan addressing a former lover (with whom she sings she broke up four weeks ago) who she sees in a disco. She tells him that if she happens to walk past him, she will ask him for a dance, because she believes that he misses her and she is prepared to give him another chance. English ("Oliver"), German ("(Tanz mit mir) Oliver"), French ("Il faut danser") and Swedish ("Oliver") versions of the song were also released after the Contest.
The song was performed sixteenth on the night, following Sweden's Ted Gärdestad with "Satellit" and preceding the United Kingdom's Black Lace with "Mary Ann". At the close of voting, it had received 57 points, placing 11th in a field of 19.
It was succeeded as Norwegian representative at the 1980 contest by Sverre Kjelsberg & Mattis Hætta with "Sámiid Ædnan". Anita Skorgan returned to the Contest in 1982 with her then husband Jahn Teigen with the duet "Adieu".
