“Øya continues to raise the bar of the perfect festival experience” - The Line of Best Fit
“A joyous festival” - The Independent 5*
“A lesson in doing it all, and doing it well.” - CLASH
Øya Festival has announced the first 11 artists for its 2027 edition, led by the hugely anticipated return of Swedish pop icon Robyn and indie-rock legends Pavement. The first wave of artists also includes Canadian experimental duo Angine de Poitrine, acclaimed US singer-songwriter Kevin Morby, Norwegian favourites deLillos and The Good The Bad and The Zugly, soul trio The Womack Sisters, genre-defying, innovative electronic artist underscores and a selection of exciting rising Norwegian talent. The announcement comes as Øya Festival is shortlisted for Festival of the Year at the Arthur Awards, further cementing its reputation as one of Europe’s leading music festivals.
Returning Øya favourite Robyn, who consistently tops the festival’s audience wish lists, will play her only concert in Norway in 2027. It will also mark her first performance in Oslo since 2019, making her return to Tøyenparken a particularly special occasion. One of the most influential and exciting pop artists of her generation, Robyn’s boundary-pushing approach to pop and celebrated catalogue have earned her a devoted international following.
Joining Robyn are Pavement, one of the most celebrated and enduring bands to emerge from the American indie-rock scene. Renowned for their distinctive sound, offbeat songwriting and celebrated catalogue, the band remain a hugely important force in alternative music. Their appearance at Øya will be a major highlight of next summer’s programme.
Canadian duo Angine de Poitrine have become one of the most talked-about acts of recent years, captivating audiences with their singular approach to microtonal music, hypnotic rhythms and distinctive, guttural sounds. Their first-ever performance in Norway promises to be one of next summer’s most anticipated sets.
American singer-songwriter Kevin Morby and Norwegian punk favourites The Good The Bad and The Zugly are both approaching veteran status. Morby continues to reach new creative heights, while GBZ, as they’re affectionately known, remain one of Norway’s most entertaining live bands.
The Womack Sisters arrive at Øya with an extraordinary musical legacy and a debut album to match. Their self-titled first record, one of the year’s standout soul releases, has firmly established the trio as a formidable talent in their own right. Also joining the line-up are underscores, whose third album U brings together contemporary hyperpop and elements of ’90s pop-influenced R&B in a thrillingly inventive way.
Completing the first announcement are four exciting Norwegian names: deLillos, Curbz, Lene 3000 and Vilde Bye. One of Norway’s most enduring and beloved bands, deLillos continue to evolve while retaining the qualities that have made them such a fixture of the country’s music scene. Curbz, Lene 3000 and Vilde Bye each caught the festival team’s attention with standout performances at by:Larm, and Øya is delighted to welcome them to Tøyenparken next summer.
Further artists for Øya Festival 2027 will be announced in the coming months.
