Stavernfestivalen is an annual music festival held in the month of July, in Stavern, Norway, at the Larvik Golf Arena.

The first-ever Stavernfestivalen festival took place in 2001, with 175 attendees. The following year, the festival was organised over two days, and in 2011, for three days. By 2019, approximately 75,000 people attended the celebration of music.

Relocation to the Larvik Golf Arena

Up until 2014, the festival was arranged at Skråvika near Minnehallen in Stavern. In 2015, it relocated to the Larvik Golf Arena – a much larger, more spacious area where the organisers could focus on further developing and improving the overall experience.

Camping and food services have greatly improved since this move. For example, in 2019, the campgrounds were able to support roughly 8000 attendees and 26 food distributors in the festival arena.

International Artists

Initially, artists at the festival were almost exclusively Norwegian, but gradually, more prominent international artists began to appear. These include a range of artists, such as Travis Scott, Bob Dylan, Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Alan Walker, Neil Young, KYGO, Post Malone, David Guetta, Wiz Khalifa, Dua Lipa, Sigrid and Swedish House Mafia.

Martin Garrix and A$AP Rocky booked for Stavernfestivalen 2020

In 2020, A$AP Rocky, Martin Garrix, The 1975, Kamelen, and Isah & Dutty Dior were all booked for the festival, which was due to take place from 9 to 11 July before being postponed to 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
