Starting the 19th of June Iðnó’s restaurant
will be offering a special Icelandic buffet
for 3800 kr. from 18:00 to 20:00. Starting
on the 29th, however, dinner guests arriv-
ing on one of three days of the week will
have the option of paying 6000 kr. for the
buffet and an after dinner show start-
ing at 20:30. On Mondays and Tuesdays
that show is ‘Best of Light Nights’ and
on Wednesdays it’s ‘How do you like

cheaper at 5300 for the buffet and show
combination.

lunga Concert
Young artists in the aast of Iceland are again planning their annual culture festival LungA, held in the small town of Seyðisfjörður between the 17th and 23rd of July. The
town will be crammed with artists from all around the country taking part in various workshops and courses, showing their payoff in a final exhibition on Saturday the
22nd. To put an end to the festival, guests and locals can enjoy a six-hour music show during the evening with performers such as Ampop, Fræ, Ghostigital, Jeff Who?,
The Foreign Monkeys, Miri, Tony the Pony, Benny Crespo’s Gang, Sometime and Biggi Orchestra. Yes, all that and more for those in the mood for a great party outside of
Reykjavík. For info on tickets and how to get there, visit www.lunga.is
Herðubreið, Seyðisfjörður, July 22nd
Spúútnik Summerparty
Second-hand shop Spúútnik on Laugavegur doesn’t care it’s been a rainy summer. To
brighten our mood (and maybe get some extra shoppers inside the store) a Summer-
party seems appropriate with bands and DJs performing every week surrounded by
shoes, dresses and jewellery. The lo-fi pop duo Hairdoctor, joined by DJ Dazer will
play the July 22nd and DJ Ta! Ta! Ta! a week later. The party starts at 14:00.
Spúútnik store, July 22th and July 28th
la Quiete, Myra, i adapt and
Gavin Portland
The Italian screamo band La Quiete is heading to Iceland this month and will
play a couple of gigs before touring in the US. On July 2nd La Quiete will per-
form at bar Dillon where the local hardcore bands Myra, Gavin Portland and
I Adapt will accompany the rockers. With a dedicated fan base like theirs, you
can expect the crowd to go crazy as the sweat starts dripping from the ceiling,
with the possibility of everything ending in brutal chaos.

Music and nightlife events usually start around
21:00, unless otherwise stated. Pubs close at 01:00
on weekdays and much, much later on weekends.
For those just wanting to party, the pubs and
clubs don’t get crowded until after midnight on
weekends, although Thursday is a semi-official
night out.

Sigur rós
Sigur Rós need no introduction. Together with supporting act Amiina and some
experienced concert planners, Sigur Rós is organizing a grand outdoor gig at Mik-
latún the July 30th. For those not familiar, Miklatún is a large outdoor area only a
five-minute walk south of Hlemmur. You’re probably thinking it’s sold out by now,
but not to worry, the concert is open for everyone and the best part is, there’s no
entrance fee. The more the merrier is the adage for the night, so get ready for one of
the most memorable events this year.
