On Saturday night, the police moved out to the park at St. Hanshaugen in Oslo after several complaints about loud music.

When VG arrived at the park around 00.30, it was very crowded, and people were sitting close together on the grass in the summer heat. Music was played from brought speakers.
– There are an estimated 2000 people in the park, the police announced on Twitter.
A couple of hours later, just before 2 o’clock, the police report that they believe there are around 3,000 people in the park.
– All owners of music systems have been ordered to turn off the music, something they have complied with.
However, the atmosphere at the site is good, says operations manager Cathrine Sylju in the Oslo police district to VG.
– But there are a little more people there than there were last night. We are now driving around to try to get people to turn off the music systems, which is what the residents react to, she says to VG.
– We get feedback that there is a good distribution of age groups, from around 18 to 30 years, and it is a large park where people are well distributed, the operations manager continues, the operations manager continues.
Also on the city beach in Kristiansand, people ate on Saturday night.
– A conservative estimate is that more than 500 people have been gathered during the evening and night on the spot, the police in Agder write on Twitter at 00.30.
