The discography of the Norwegian glam metal band Wig Wam includes six studio albums, one live album, 17 singles, one video album and seven music videos. The band was formed in Halden in 2001 and released their debut studio album, 667.. The Neighbour of the Beast, in 2004. The album was reissued in 2005 with a new title, Hard to Be a Rock'n Roller, and additional songs. The band achieved international fame later that year when they represented Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "In My Dreams", written by guitarist Teeny, and placed ninth. The song became a significant hit for the band in Norway and in other countries around Europe and Asia.[1]

Wig Wam released their second studio album, Wig Wamania, in 2006 and their first live album, Live in Tokyo, the following year. The band's third studio album, Non Stop Rock'n Roll, was released in 2010 and their fourth album, Wall Street, in 2012. After thirteen years together, Wig Wam split up in 2014. The band reunited in 2019 and released the album Never Say Die in 2021. Wig Wam experienced a resurgence in popularity internationally the following year when their single "Do Ya Wanna Taste It" was used as the theme song for the HBO Max television series Peacemaker.[2] The band's sixth studio album, Out of the Dark, was released in 2023.
