Oya Festival: Oslo’s Number 1 Music Festival

What better way to experience the Land of the Midnight Sun than by dancing and rocking it out to sensational music acts during the Oya Festival?  Considered one of the best festivals in August from around the world, trip yourself fantastic as awesome bands play late into the night while the sun still shines outside.

The Oya Festival takes place every August during the Arctic summer, attracting over 60,000 revelers to party for four days and nights. It’s come a long way from its humble beginnings in 1999, and is now one of the biggest and most important music festivals in Norway. The event opens with a ridiculous club night as a warm up, a city-wide party that takes place in many of the hottest clubs in town. This is followed by several nights of concerts at the main stages in Tøyenparken. Get ready for some serious partying, Norwegian style: after the concerts, more good times await at Oslo’s epic bars and pubs. Both up-and-coming artists and international music legends perform on the various stages, catering to a wide range of musical interests. Past lineups have featured Beck, Queens of the Stone Age, Sonic Youth, Chvrches, and Royksopp to name a few. If you feel like you need a breather, take the time to chill out by treating yourself to healthy food from the organic food stalls, go shop for records, and buy some awesome clothes at the many tents and stalls.

‘The Oya Festival will serve as the soundtrack to an epic trip to Oslo, the perfect excuse for music lovers to visit the Land of the Midnight Sun.’
