Oya Festival has kicked off in Oslo, Norway with 11,000 fans- including a handful of Brits- enjoying the line up.

On Wednesday Ida Maria, Lykke Li, Jose Gonzalez and Nick Caves Grinderman all played the event.

And yesterday in wet Scandinavian weather Sigur Ros, Turbonegro Sonic Youth and DJ Diplo headlined at the site in central Oslo.

Theres also a significant UK contingent at the festival. MTV News spoke to Dev Hynes- aka Lightspeed Champion- who played to a large crowd on the Vika stage. Jamie Lidell brought his funk-soul to the Sjsiden stage and told us that he was looking forward to catching trendy Philly DJ Diplo who played two sets in the city.

Today at Oya Kevin Shields My Bloody Valentine, Clipse, Dirty Pretty Things and N.E.R.D will all perform live. The festival continues on Sunday with Bryn Christopher, Cut Copy and Janelle Monae playing.
