André 3000 by Kai Regan
André 3000 will be there with a full live band on Thursday, August 8th.
André 3000 is the latest addition to this year’s Øya Festival in Oslo.
He’s joined the likes of Pulp, Queens Of The Stone Age, PJ Harvey, The National, The Smile and Raye on the bill after the release of New Blue Sun back in November 2023.

So I’ve always kind of been analyzing it or figuring out how I wanted to approach it.
