📋About
Øyafestivalen 2026: the pop and rock festival in Oslo
Since 1999, Øyafestivalen (commonly known as Øya or Overoslo) has established itself as Norway's essential urban festival. Every summer, it takes place in the Grefsenkollen park in Oslo, offering four days of concerts in a green setting with an eclectic program mixing international headliners and emerging Scandinavian talents.
The 2026 edition brings together 26 artists, headlined by Franz Ferdinand in indie rock, Faithless in electronic, and Natasha Bedingfield in pop. Norwegian artists Sigrid and Astrid S also feature in the lineup.
The festival explores a wide musical spectrum, from art pop to chamber pop, including alternative dance and folk. This diversity reflects the festival's identity, which values environmental consciousness as much as artistic discovery, with particular attention to Scandinavian artists.
From June 17 to 20, 2026, Øyafestivalen transforms Oslo into the Nordic cultural capital. Check out the complete lineup with 26 artists and enjoy the unique atmosphere of this committed and cosmopolitan festival.
