For four days in the middle of August, the Medieval Park in Oslo is transformed into an arena for musical, visual and cross-cultural performances. The Øya Festival is an energetic, symbiotic & liminal experience with a unique atmosphere and audience that bares resemblance to none other.
The Øya Festival is a festival put together by music lovers, for music lovers, and with a focus on presenting a cutting-edge bill with a big, Scandinavian heart. Where else would you find such great and diverse artists as The Knife, Band Of Horses, High On Fire, Beck, and Yoko Ono all sharing the same backstage?
The Øya Festival is held in what is called the Medieval Park in Oslo, Norway – a beautiful spot surrounded by white, sandy beaches, the Oslo Fjord to the south, and the Oslo skyline to the west. The Medieval Park is also the site on which the capital of Norway was founded a thousand years ago – and it’s only a short walk to the city center of Oslo, which creates an exciting rendezvous between nature and culture.
Audience and artists are presented with a festival area consisting of trees, green grass, and water, accompanied by stages, shopping streets, and small shops serving drink and food (prepared – in fact! – by the best young chefs of Oslo). The Eastside, where the Medieval Park is located, is undoubtedly where the action is when it comes to Norwegian music, and the area is also the nation’s primary cultural melting pot. In the years to come, several hundred million Norwegian “kroner”, both state and private, will be invested here, for the development of new housing areas, and the new Opera House, which will be the Medieval Park’s closest neighbor in the Harbor area.

SAM KARPIENIA (ex leader de Dupain) en concert LUNDI 12 OCT. - PARIS XXè - STUDIO DE L'ERMITAGE SAMEDI 24 OCT. - MARSEILLE - FIESTA DES SUDS
WORLD SOUND L'un des OVNIs de cette rentrée musicale et une réussite incontestable... ROCK'N'FOLK Porté par une voix éraillée et fascinante, le résultat ne ressemble a rien de connu, brassant poésie, rock, musiques méditerranéennes traditionnelles et d'influences occitanes dans des chansons mutantes à fort pouvoir évocateur. VIBRATIONS L'album Extatic Malancòni , manifeste poignant, s'ouvre part un riff "stoogien" à la mandole et la tension ne retombe jamais. Sans doute le chant de Karpienia y est-il pour beaucoup, si dense qu'on encaisse physiquement le poids des textes rageurs. MONDOMIX Après quelques courts bruissements de mandole, dès les premières minutes de cet album, la voix de Sam Karpienia est déjà au zénith. Musicalement, les paysages dévoilés sont racés et cohérents ils semblent vierges, ou offrent tout du moins une hybridation originale, entre transe méditerranéenne, urgences rock et lyrisme occitan.
