LungA
Friday July 18 – Sunday July 20
LungA, the premiere art festival
for young, up and coming
artists in Seyðisfjörður and
the surrounding countryside,
will come to a climatic finish
this weekend with a series of
concerts and performances.
What started as a small group
of around 20 young artists has
now become the main art event
for rural Iceland. Amongst those
performing on the final weekend
will be Bloodgroup, BangGang,
FM Belfast and Trentemöller and
Kasperbjörke, internationally
renowned Scandinavian DJs. For
more information see www.lunga.
is or www.midi.is.
Jack Live Outdoor Festival
Friday – Sunday August 1-3
Some people like to go out to the
country to celebrate Labour Day
Weekend (Verslunarmannahelgin)
while others are not charmed
by the large crowds, revelry
and high cost which entails
leaving town. For those of us not
willing to face the nightmarish
landscape of Vestmannaeyjar on
this blessed weekend, there is of
course Innipúkinn and the Organ
anniversary but now Dillon, in
cooperation with Jack Daniels
and Live, have organised an inner
city outside festival: The Jack Live
Festival. Three days of food, drink,
music and entertainment. A ticket
for the entire festival costs only
2.000 ISK but single nights cost
1.000 ISK. For more information
see www.midi.is or call Vilhjálmur
at 697-6333 or Franz at 820-1975.
Studio 54 Night
Saturday Jul 26
Who hasn’t dreamt what it would
be like to go out for a crazy night
of drinking and dancing at Studio
54, rubbing shoulders with the
likes of Michael Jackson and Mick
Jagger, two-stepping your way
over the man in the moon with the
cocaine spoon while Rick James
beats up Charlie Murphy? Well
now those dreams can come true!
Q-Bar will be hosting another one
of its hugely successful theme
nights, this time with Studio 54
as the inspiration. The operation
is as of yet highly confidential but
what is known is that Karius and
Baktus as well as legendary disc
jockey Maggi Hermanns will be
amongst the DJ’s performing.

Gallery Turpentine’s current exhibition
is dedicated to local farmer-turned-
landscapeartist Stefán from Möðru-
dalur (1908-1994), most commonly
known as Stórval. The retrospective
exhibition celebrates what would have
been the artist’s 100-year birthday and
features paintings that cover a big part
of his successful career, ranging from
1948 up to 1992. His most famous pain-
tings are colourful exaggerations of Mt.
Herðubreið, but he painted hundreds of
them. You can see one on the info co-
ver. The exhibition is open until July 26.
