!!!CYCLE!!!
Cycle Music & Arts Festival is a set of col-
laborations between various creatives, media,
and crafts. It seeks to blur, if not eliminate entirely,
the boundaries between performance, exhibition,
and audience. Get your mind sufficiently bent in
the mirror tunnel, take a guided walk with artist
Christina Kubisch through her ongoing work
with electromagnetic fields, get your symposia on,
or experience the opera with a performance of
William Walton's 'The Bear'. There's a ton of stuff
to see and experience—more than can be men-
tioned here—and it all sounds rad. SLWF
Invented way back in 1996, the annual Culture
Night celebrates with citywide concerts, festivities,
food carts, street entertainers, binge drinking,
sexy dancing, and more! If you're looking for
music, good times, and ample opportunity for
debauchery, head to any of Reykjavík's many bars
and night club, such as Dillon for their acoustic
music festival, Gaukurinn for its female-only night,
or Prikið for a triple-team of DJ sets. Or, if you're
looking to keep it classy, sit on your balcony with
a few bottles of Icelandic wine and an Icelandic
cheese plate, and enjoy the midnight firework
show. Celebrate your way, Iceland! SLWF
