The 26th edition of the event is due to take place at Tøyenparken in Oslo, Norway between August 5 and 9. Tickets are on sale now – buy yours here.
Last November, it was announced that Chappell Roan, Khruangbin and Wet Leg would be performing at the festival. Organisers then confirmed another wave of acts in December, featuring Charli XCX, Queens Of The Stone Age, Fontaines D.C. and more.
Now, an extra batch of artists have joined the bill – with Lola Young, Mk.gee, Portishead‘s Beth Gibbons, and Bicep leading the way.
They are joined by other new additions Yung Lean & Bladee, Refused, The Chats, Hermanos Gutiérrez, Pa Salieu, Kelly Lee Owens, Geordie Greep, Envy, Daniel Romano, Outfit and Arp Frique & The Perpetual Singers.
There is also a range of Norwegian talent on the line-up, including Ane Brun, Ramón, Isah, Rabo and many more.
Øya describes itself the “world’s greenest festival”, and is committed to providing a 50/50 gender split of artists in its line-up. Last year’s line-up boasted the likes of Pulp, PJ Harvey, RAYE, Arca, Astrid S and Holly Humberstone.
In a glowing five-star review of the 2024 event, NME praised Øya’s “blissed-out vibe” and forward-thinking ethos. “You can sense it throughout the week: artists love coming here, and the fans reflect that,” it read. “Øya has a reputation as one of the most forward-thinking festivals in the world. Here, joy is an act of resistance.
“Gender parity on the line-up was quietly the norm here many years before events were making headlines, and every year comes with a renewed push to be the greenest festival around. This year, all the locally-supplied food is pescatarian (and pretty damn good compared to your normal rushed festy scran in a napkin), and Øya is providing free menstrual pads and tampons for festival-goers.”
