CONCERTS & NIGHTLIFE
Gamli Gaukurinn | Apr. 9 to Apr. 12 | 8,900 ISK
Gamli Gaukurinn is getting older and is in dire need of a
refurbishment. To fund these changes the folks at Gamli
Gaukurinn invite people to a festival in the hopes of being able
to afford moving the stage, improving the sound system and
lighting as well as the facilities for artists. With more than 20
bands performing, each day is composed of a distinct sound,
including Snorri Helgason and Pétur Ben on the Wednesday
acoustic night, Reykjavíkurdætur and Cesar A on the Thursday
hip hop night, Angist and Muck on Friday’s metal night and Nolo
and kimono on the Saturday closing night. YN

self as just a kid from
up north, with a life-
time passion for fish.
