Oslo World 2026 takes place from Tuesday 27 October to Sunday 1 November, across venues large and small throughout the city!

The festival opens at Chateau Neuf with Lebanese legend Marcel Khalife, followed by a party with Morocco’s Sami Galbi. The closing concert at Sentrum Scene with Italian folk hero Jovanotti promises to be legendary. Between these two experiences at some of Oslo’s biggest venues, the city’s best stages will be filled with people and music from across the globe: traditional music, club music, experimental rock, improvised music, Sufi music, gamelan, flamenco, pop, rap and desert blues.

Among this year’s highlights are Los Thuthanaka, Dubioza Kolektiv, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Sanam Marvi and Nana Benz du Togo – but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The best Oslo World night is the one you put together yourself.

See you in the autumn darkness!
