The story

Piknik i Parken in Oslo

Piknik i Parken, also known as PiPfest, is an annual June music festival held in Sofienbergparken in Oslo's Grünerløkka district. It began in a park near the Vigeland Museum in Frogner before relocating to Sofienbergparken in 2019. Recent lineups have featured major international names such as AURORA, Faithless, Stormzy, Massive Attack, alt-J, Phoenix, The 1975 and Jamie xx alongside prominent Norwegian and Nordic artists.

Piknik i Parken, often shortened to PiPfest, has built its identity around an unusual choice for a major festival: staging itself inside Oslo's residential parks rather than on a dedicated fairground outside the city.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Piknik i Parken's defining feature is its urban park setting: rather than an out-of-town fairground, the festival takes place inside Oslo neighborhoods, first near the Vigeland Museum in Frogner and, since 2019, in Sofienbergparken in the Grünerløkka district, giving it a walkable, city-embedded character

02

The mystery stays covered

Its lineups have consistently mixed major international touring acts with Norwegian and Nordic artists: recent editions have brought AURORA, Faithless, Maribou State and Susanne Sundfør in 2025, Stormzy and Massive Attack in 2024, and alt-J, Phoenix and The 1975 in 2023, following earlier years that featured New Order, Jamie xx, Röyksopp, Grace Jones and Mew
