Norwegian Wood Festival
TBC 2024
Frognerbadet
This festival, held annually in June in Oslo, is one of the
highlights on the country's musical calendar, if not the highlight,
attracting many of the world's top artists as well as plenty of
local Scandinavian bands.
Norwegian Wood, named for the famous Beatles Song, has an
impressive list of past performers, including the likes of Bob
Dylan, Sting, David Bowie, Lou Reed, Johnny Cash, Van Morrison, Rod
Stewart, Lenny Kravitz, Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler,
Neil Young, Foo Fighters, Alanis Morissette, The Cardigans,
Counting Crows, and Iggy Pop.
This outdoor festival primarily celebrates rock music, but there
are exceptions. The timing is perfect for those wanting to travel
during the Norwegian summer and experience the Midnight Sun.
Tickets are limited and sell out fast so it is best to book them
online in advance. Children under five get in free of charge
accompanied by an adult. You can buy a festival pass for all four
days or just a single day pass. The festival is always held at the
Frognerbadet, near the famous sculpture garden of Vigeland
Park.
