Iceland Airwaves Festival

WHERE: Reykjavík, Iceland.
WHEN: from 02 to 04 November 2023

Are you looking for a unique event in an equally suggestive context? One of the coolest and trendiest annual festivals on the entire music scene? (based on what David Fricke, of the Rolling Stones said). Then Iceland Airwaves Festival is for you.

Even the latest edition received a lot of success from critics. In the beautiful setting of Iceland, you can enjoy 3 days of music. Around 100 artists from 25 countries will perform in beautiful Reykjavík, offering music ranging from electronic to alternative / rock / pop. As per tradition, emerging and promising artists will alternate with real stars, Icelandic and international.

The first historic concert, in 1999, went down in history for its incredible location: the hangar of Reykjavík airport! The 2022 edition, as for last year, will mark a return to origins, presenting shows in any type of place; from small bars and bookstores, to large theaters and concert halls. Among these: Fríkirkjan, Gaukurinn, Gamla Bíó, Húrra, Idnó, Museum of Art.

Iceland Airwaves Festival is organized and produced by Iceland Music Export, and is sponsored by Icelandair, the historic company, founder of the festival.

The event is also an opportunity to set out to discover the Icelandic capital; a city of sure charm, which will conquer you. You can decide to visit a museum, or enjoy a fantastic skyline from the top of Hallgrimskirkja; you can go shopping in the beautiful streets of the historic center or go as far as Blue Lagoon.
