Oya Festival

Oya Festival was founded in 1999 and has since grown to become one of the most famous festivals in Norway. It is an annual outdoor music event that lasts four days and features top musicians. The festival lasts four days in the main park area and is preceded by a party night during which the festival performs in nearly all of Oslo's central clubs.

The event was hosted on Kalvoya, outside Sandvika, just outside Oslo, for the first two years. It is not, contrary to popular opinion, the same festival as the former Kalvoyafestivalen, which was also hosted in Kalvoya. After two years at Kalvoya, the festival was relocated to Middelalderparken in downtown Oslo in 2001, making it a more central festival. In 2009, more than 80 bands performed in the park. Oya Festival was then relocated to Toyen Park in 2014 due to building work that made it impossible to hold it in Middelalderparken.
