Robyn’s Oslo return heads Øya Festival’s first 11 names for 2027
Øya Festival has announced the first 11 artists set to play its 2027 edition, with Robyn, Pavement, Angine de Poitrine, Kevin Morby and underscores among the names heading to Oslo’s Tøyenparken next August.
Running from 11-14 August 2027, the Norwegian festival’s opening announcement also includes deLillos, The Good The Bad and The Zugly, The Womack Sisters, Curbz, Lene 3000 and Vilde Bye.
Robyn returns to Oslo for first show since 2019
Robyn’s set will mark her first performance in Oslo since 2019, as well as her only Norwegian concert of 2027. The Swedish pop innovator has remained one of Øya’s most requested artists, and her Tøyenparken appearance gives the festival’s first announcement a sizeable centrepiece.
Pavement also join the bill, bringing their skewed, slack-jawed strain of American indie rock to the Norwegian capital. The band’s catalogue and singular live presence make them a natural fit for a line-up balancing established alternative names with more left-field bookings.
Microtonal experiments and Norwegian punk on the bill
Canadian experimental duo Angine de Poitrine will make their first Norwegian appearance at the festival. Known for their microtonal arrangements, rhythmic repetitions and unorthodox vocal textures, they are among the most intriguing additions to the early line-up.
Kevin Morby will bring his weathered, literary songwriting to Tøyenparken, while Norwegian punk outfit The Good The Bad and The Zugly add a more boisterous homegrown edge. The festival has also booked deLillos, one of Norway’s enduring alternative institutions.
The Womack Sisters arrive behind their self-titled debut album, while electronic artist underscores is set to perform material from third album U, which moves between hyperpop, R&B and warped pop production.
Curbz, Lene 3000 and Vilde Bye complete the announcement. All three artists caught Øya’s attention through appearances at Norwegian showcase festival by:Larm.

Øya Festival 2027 takes place in Tøyenparken, Oslo, from 11-14 August. Festival passes are on sale now, with standard tickets priced at 3999 NOK, alongside student, under-18 and children’s options.
