My Bloody Valentine may be the Øya Festival's biggest snag, but the Norwegian extravaganza's 2008 lineup is full of several varieties of goodness. Among the other artists performing are N.E.R.D., the National, Girl Talk, No Age, Sigur Rós, Iron & Wine, José González, Kid Sister and A-Trak, Yeasayer, Okkervil River, Diplo, Lightspeed Champion, Isis, Lykke Li, Health, Silje Nes, Ida Maria, and Holy Fuck.

Of course, the festival doesn't take place in Oslo's Medieval Park until August 5-9, so more lineup announcements are sure to come.

For a sort of preview-in-hindsight of the Øya festivities, check out Pitchfork's own Stephen Deusner's reports from last year's festival.
