Øyafestivalen is an annual Norwegian music festival held in the Tøyen Park, Oslo. It has grown quickly since its modest start in 1999 and has become one of Norway's biggest and most important music festivals.
The festival has previously featured musicians like Kanye West, Sonic Youth, Iggy and The Stooges, Arctic Monkeys, Babyshambles, Morrissey, and Beck.
The festival lasts for four days in the main park area, and is preceded by a club night where the festival holds concerts in more or less all of Oslo's central clubs.
