Download The Øya Festival Free Mixtape
One of the most distinguished events out of the European festival circuit is taking place this year from August the 10th-14th in Norway’s capital city Oslo.
The Øya Festival stands out from the avalanche of similar events thanks to its historical location on a medieval park, right where Oslo was originally found. Its impeccable green credentials – having won several awards and mentions for its full compromise with the environment – and with a line-up that focuses on new music, it easily stands comparisons against any other rock events held around the globe.
Headliners this year include Pavement, who continue their acclaimed reunion tour, LCD Soundsystem’s rumoured final tour, M.I.A, Big Boi, The Flaming Lips and The xx next to up to 200 other acts scheduled to perform. The event also offers a comprehensive program of multidisciplinary art activities and club nights. More details of which can be found at the festival website.
While giving the finishing touches, the organisers have compiled a triple-sided mixtape with some of the most interesting up and coming talent featured in this year’s edition. Recent favourites from the likes of Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffitti, Yeasayer or Marina & The Diamonds go back to back with a good selection of local talent- and it’s available to download for free!
