Øyafestivalen 2026: indie rock festival in Oslo in August

Øyafestivalen is Norway's major urban festival that takes place in August in the Tøyen park in Oslo. This summer edition offers four days of concerts with an eclectic program mixing indie rock, electronic, and alternative dance in a green setting in the heart of the Norwegian capital.

The August 2026 edition brings together 22 artists, with legendary headliners: Mogwai in post-rock, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, and The Cure, icons of global alternative rock. The lineup also explores experimental electronic music.

The festival is distinguished by its sharp curation that values international legends as much as emerging Scandinavian talents. Environmental commitment and progressive values are part of the festival's DNA, creating a unique and committed atmosphere.

From August 12 to 15, 2026, Øyafestivalen transforms Oslo into the Nordic cultural capital. Check out the complete lineup with 22 artists and experience this iconic urban festival.
