Øyafestivalen (Øya Festival) is Norway's largest music festival, held in the Tøyen district of Oslo each August. Founded in 1999, Øya has built a reputation for expertly curated lineups that blend major international headliners with cutting-edge Nordic acts. The festival takes place in the medieval park beneath the Munch Museum, with the green surroundings creating an intimate urban-park atmosphere. Øya is a leader in sustainability — it was one of the first major festivals to go entirely eco-certified, serving only organic food and operating with minimal environmental impact. Past performers include Radiohead, Björk, Nick Cave, and Kendrick Lamar.
