Our Picks

Sólveig Matthildur
May 30 - 20:00 - Gaukurinn - 2,000 ISK
Sólveig Matthildur
returns from her
hideout in Berlin
to play a one-off
headline show
at Reykjavík’s
goth-drag-metal
lair, Gaukurinn. It’s
been an eventful
year for Sólveig,
who started 2018
by winning Grape-
vine’s “You Should
Have Heard This”
prize at our
annual music
awards. And you
should have: her
debut solo effort,
“Unexplained
Miseries & the
Acceptance of
Sorrow,” is a dark,
blood-red gem
of hazy, gloomy
electronic alt-
pop, brought to
life by Sólveig’s
huge voice. The
initial run of cas-
settes sold out,
but the LP will be
re-released on
vinyl this year by
Canadian label
Artoffact. It’s
electrifying live:
expect scarlet
lighting, heart-
breaking vocal
delivery, dramatic
intensity, self-
conscious jokes,
trashed roses,
and on-point
eyeliner. JR

JóiPé x Króli
May 26 - 20:00
Húrra - 2,500 ISK
JóiPé and
Króli are the
refreshing
response to
that I-am-so-
hardcore-
and-cool rap.
They’re forreal,
bitch. HJC

Plútó
May 18 - 23:00
Húrra - Free!
The DJ collective
Plútó com-
prise the most
comprehensive
knowledge tank
of dance and
electronic music
in Iceland. Get
turnt. PW

Great Grief / ROHT / xGADDAVÍRx
May 20 - 21:00 - Gaukurinn - 1,000 ISK
It is Sunday. You get up late and
as you prepare your “morning”
coffee, you wonder how you should
spend the evening. Well, we got the
answer: get ready for the ultimate
hardcore-fest! Four bands of four
different hardcore subgenres (punk,
noise, post, and ska) will make you
dance, shout and lose your mind.
Easy like a Sunday morning. PW

BSÍ / MSEA / SiGRÚN
May 20 - 18:00 - R6013 - Whatever!
R6013 has conquered Reykjavík’s
heart by promoting the hottest
bands of Iceland’s underground
scene by letting them perform at
the all-ages venue. We are sure that
this concert will only emphasize
that. Expect punk, weirdness, a loyal
crowd, free vegan food and lots of
available underground records that
you might not find anywhere else. PW
