ØYA is an annual city festival held in Middelalderparken in Oslo, Norway’s capital. The festival has grown steadily since its modest start in 1999 and is now regarded as one of the main and most important festivals in Scandinavia.
This year Acts include JANELLE MONÁE, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, TODD TERJE, BLOOD ORANGE, CONOR OBERST, FUTURE, NENEH CHERRY, ANGEL OLSEN, MAC DEMACRCO, KELELA and JON HOPKINS.
2014 has seen the live comeback of hip-hop legends OUTKAST – their first appearance in seven years occurred at Coachella back in April and NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION is very excited to be seeing the duo in Norway’s capital. The festival also marks FUTURES’s first time in Norway and MAYHEM’s 30th anniversary at ØYA FESTIVAL.
An eclectic mix of Norwegian acts including headliners RÖYKSOPP & ROBYN (although she’s from Sweden, of course) and TODD TERJE as well as HIGHASAKITE, AWAKENING, LASARONENS VAR, KING MIDAS, EMILIE NICOLAS, THE HOURS and many, many more. Check out Music Norway’s Soundcloud for 2014’s ØYA:
Four main stages – Sjøsiden, Enga, Vika, Odden. The festival will span over four days in the main venue of Middelalderparken. The days are preceded by club nights, which are held in the majority of Oslo’s clubs. ØYA is proud to regard itself as one of the greenest festivals in the world; they seek to be a leading example as they search for solutions that are environmentally friendly. We surely can’t wait to be part of the festivities and will be reporting daily from the festival site! See the full program with set times right here.
