Vintage Caravan’s last performance of the year
22:oo
Dillon Admission: Free

This will be the last chance this year to
catch the Vintage Caravan. They’ve signed
a monumental contract with German record
company Nuclear Blast and will be touring
through Europe after the New Year. If you've
just finished your exams, or are, in general,
hoping to shake out some winter blues this
is your night to catch some ‘70s hard rock
and lose your shit. AB

The devious Yule Lads are coming to town
All over Iceland

According to Icelandic Folklore, the 13
Yule Lads will descend from their trollish
mountain homes to scare children and prank
all. They are known for both their cheap
tricks like stealing skyr and leftovers as well
as being homicidal, child-eating monsters.
They typically travel with their ruthless Yule
Cat, who also delights in eating children who
have not received new clothing for Christmas.
Capitalism couldn't have produced a more
perfect character. AB

December 25 THE ONLY BEER IN TOWN Iceland
is a lot of things. It's a cold, dreary and
dark place during the winter season, but
it is not a place where it is difficult to find
a pint of lager. Except today, on Christmas
day. Thankfully, the guys over at The
English Pub have our backs and know
that sometimes that fresh tap lager beer is
just what you need. Check 'em out, they're
purportedly the only place open today.
December 31 DROP EVERYTHING AND JUST
REFLECT If you are lucky enough to be in
Iceland for New Year's Eve, then you are
in for a treat. Don't bother bringing your
camera, and don't worry too much about
what pub you want to go to. When the
clock strikes twelve, just start wandering
around town, enjoy the show, and reflect
on the year that has passed.
December 20 CHRISTMASIER THAN THOU In case
all the crazy city decorations haven't gotten
you into the merry Christmas spirit, then
seeing Svavar Knútur, Kristjana Stefáns
and Ragnheiður Gröndal perform live at
Café Rosenberg will surely do the trick.
Head out and merry out.
