Omar Souleyman
Omar Souleyman started out as a wedding singer in
Syria. When civil war broke out in 2011, Souleyman
fled to Turkey, where he began performing for couples
tying the knot. His songs of love and positivity soon
made him a legendary musician in the West.

SUUNS
Montreal-based rock band SUUNS will be gracing the
KEX stage with their fresh take on psychedelic rock

CONCERT
Kristján
Hrannar
A Chilling Concept
Mengi, Óðinsgata 2 (F5) at 20:00 | 2,000 ISK
We only have one chance to stop climate
change. That’s the concept Kristján Hran-
nar wants to drive home on his album ‘Arc-
tic Take One’. The songs are all named af-
ter places in the Arctic affected by climate
change, and the album was improvised
and recorded on the spot, with no re-dos.
Kristján will be performing this album live
at experimental music venue Mengi. IW
