Robyn, Christine and the Queens, Girl in Red and more rule day 3 of Norway's Øya festival
During a passionate performance bursting with energy and supported by a sensual theatrical dance squad, Christine and the Queens opened with “Comme si” from 2018'sSinger Héloïse Letissier, who also goes by Chris, brought out six dancers who displayed precise choreography and reflected power and gender struggles in a playful yet powerful way. A former dancer herself, Chris performed on a smaller stage three years ago at Øya, but this time stepped onto the main stage.
Chris' music and live show reflect the tattoo on her right arm, which reads, "We accept you." Following the energetic song "Le G," she slowed down with "The Walker" before speeding up again with the playful "Goya Soda." During the song "Five Dollars," she asked the audience to accept all different kinds of love.
Friday's Øya set marked Robyn's third visit to the festival, and she seemed happy to speak her mother tongue to her neighboring Norwegians. The singer, who's been a Scandinavian star since her breakthrough hit "Show Me Love" in 1998, had many loyal and enthusiastic followers in the crowd her sang along to her music.
With a 49% gender balance at Øya, the two queens of the night were supported by several other young female artists. Among them was Girl in Red , who is one of this year's most lauded newcomers in Norway. The 20-year-old musician's stage presence was intense and joyful as she kicked off the set with "Girl," a song about easily falling in love with both girls and boys.
