Kanye West and Janelle Monae have been added to the lineup of performers for the 9th annual Øya Festival in Norway.

The Chi-Town rapper-producer will perform tracks from his most recent album, 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,' while Monae will perform hits from 'The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III)' also released last year. Additional performers at the Øya Festival will include Lykke Li, Fleet Foxes, James Blake and Warpaint. The show runs from August 9 through 13, in Oslo's Middelaiderparken venue.

Monae will be getting fans on their feet with hits like 'Tightrope' and 'Cold War' before the Øya event, though. In July, she joins Katy Perry on the North American leg of the pop star's California Dreams tour. July 13 will see her at Regina, S.D.'s Brandt Centre, then she'll continue up to Canada for three dates in Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton.
