Vikafestivalen was a Norwegian pop and rock festival situated at Mo i Rana in northern Norway. It has succeeded Sjonstock, a festival arranged in the outskirts of Mo I Rana every year for 10 years (1995-2005) until it was moved closer to the city and renamed Vikafestivalen (2006). In December 2008 the festival board announced that the festival was cancelled.
