Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Oslo right now.
Also on the calendar: the Oslo Opera Festival; the All Ears Festival for Improvised Music (www.all-ears.no); the Ultimafestivalen (www.ultima.no), for contemporary music; the Oslo World Music Festival (www.osloworld.no); and Inferno (www.infernofestival.net) for Norway's many heavy-metal fans.
This popular outdoor music festival is held annually in June at Frognerbadet (Frogner Swimming Pool) next to Vigeland Sculpture Park. Begun in 1992, the festival has hosted big names, such as Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, Alanis Morissette, the Foo Fighters, and Rufus Wainwright, as well as indie Norwegian bands.
Every August, the Oslo Jazzfestival brings in major international artists and big crowds to various venues throughout town.
The large Øya Music Festival is held at Middelalderparken (the Medieval Park) in Gamlebyen in August. Sigur Rós, Sonic Youth, and Bon Iver have all played it.
