Iceland Airwaves 2018

07.-10.11.2018 Reykjavik

http://icelandairwaves.is/

Lineup: http://icelandairwaves.is/line-up/

After financial losses in the past the festival was taken over by a new owner. The official program is now one day shorter than in previous years, but with all the offvenue program that most probably will happen you might not even feel it. This year will be the 20th anniversary and initially there was a big anniversary event announced. If it will still happen after the new owner took over isn't certain, but probable.

I'm going with a friend! I know hardly any of the acts playing so I have no idea who to see, but will probably just get really drunk and wing it. Recommendations welcome though

Anyone fancy meeting for a sesh though? Gonna go wild

 

My friend is the drummer of Rock Paper Sisters, you'll have to check them out ;)

With so many artists it's difficult to give recommendations. Just a few acts from Iceland which are very popular or favorites of mine:

Agent Fresco, Fufanu, Glerakur, Godchilla, Hatari, Högni, Hugar, JFDR, Junius Meyvant, Kjartan Holm, Mammut, Moses Hightower, Olafur Arnalds, Reykjavikurdaetur, Soley, Solstafir, Tófa,...

Rap, Hip Hop, Trap, etc. is very big in Iceland right now and if you are into this kind of music you'll find plenty talented artists.

A lot of very popular Icelandic bands will not perform this year, which is a bit sad, because a lot of them are regulars and fan favorites (like FM Belfast, Gus Gus, Kiasmos,)
