About this event
Oslo Mela fills Rådhusplassen, the square between the City Hall and the fjord, with three days of music shaped by migration to Norway. The 2026 main stage runs from Pakistani pop star Asim Azhar and Punjabi singer Miss Pooja to Colombian party band Systema Solar and South Africa's Freshlyground. Entry is free, the crowd is genuinely all-ages, and the setting is one of Oslo's best.
Why we picked it
Oslo's biggest free outdoor festival, on the waterfront, with an international line-up that would be ticketed anywhere else.
Free entry
Free entry to Rådhusplassen: 'Det er gratis inngang'. Note that separate MelaKlubb club nights are ticketed and age-restricted, and are excluded here.
