About this event
Now one of Europe's largest festivals of its kind, Mela fills City Hall Square with the art and music that migration brought to Norway. The 2026 main stage carries Fathy Salama's Sharkiat, Asim Azhar, Miss Pooja, The PropheC, Systema Solar, Freshlyground and La Dame Blanche, alongside a classical strand, Bhangra Night club sessions and a full run of food and family activities.
