Not many festival lineups are as stacked — and sonically diverse — as Øyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway. Over four days at Tøyen Park in the center of the city, there was truly something for everyone. Goth romantics young and old gathered for the Cure’s two-and-a-half hour headlining set on Wednesday; indie lovers got a double dose with Wilco and Geese back-to-back on Thursday; teenage girls flocked to the fest to see pop sensation Sombr on Friday; and Lily Allen brought her “West End Girl” spectacular to the country for the first time on Saturday. In between, there was plenty for rap and R&B lovers — a groovy set from Blood Orange, the return of hip-hop duo Clipse, the lo-fi stylings of Dijon and his six-piece band — and many homegrown Norwegian acts to discover, including headliner Dagny and up-and-comers Girl Group.
