Oya Festival is held in a medieval park that marks the spot where the city was founded a thousand years ago. This doesn’t mean the festival is afraid to rock the site down to its foundations. This year’s lineup includes electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk, heavy metal stalwarts Slayer, up-and-coming rappers Angel Haze and Azealia Banks, and 90s rockers Blur.
Also taking the stages will be a healthy mix of Scandinavian bands, which means the fest will surely be filled with ardent music fans more than willing to admire the 11th-century ruins and the views of the beaches and fjords, when not staring, transfixed, at the stage.
