Want to see when your
favourite Icelandic artist
is coming to your home-
town? Well you’re in luck!
The Iceland Music LIVE database
website, sponsored by ÚTON (Iceland
Music Export), has been launched,
providing users with a database of
all international tours of Icelandic
artists. The site is kept up to date
by using the Mobilitus database,
which adds concerts automatically.
Artists of all genres and popularity
levels are listed on the site, ensuring
that everyones’ favourite Icelandic
artists are receiving publicity. Cur-
rently the site has 700 shows by 48
artists in 36 countries. Users can
search the site by artist, date, or
location, and ticketing sites are
linked. Access Iceland Music LIVE at

Þjóðhátíð is back! The Vestman-
naeyjar festival is making its grand
return on July 29th after a two-year
hiatus due to COVID, so if you really
want to spend your holiday weekend
drunk in a field chowing down on
puffin and roaring campfire songs,
the option is all yours. In the past,
Þjóðhátíð has been dogged by nu-
merous reported incidences of
sexual abuse, but the festival or-
ganisers are placing considerable
emphasis on their “Against Violence”
initiative, which is certainly a step in
the right direction. We deeply hope
that 2022 marks the year that all
attendees can focus on camping,
music and culture (and let’s be real:
a lot of drinking), without the fear of
sexual violence. AE / JG
As a small country often looked over
in the music scene, we know all too
well how hard it can be to become
mainstream. That’s why it is excit-
ing to announce that Iceland will be
championing two fellow underdogs
at Iceland Airwaves festival. Bands
from the Faroe Islands and Luxem-
bourg will be making their way to
Iceland to remind everyone that
even the smallest of places have
talent too. We are thrilled that Mari-
us DC, Kóboykex, Janus Rasmussen,
Brimheim, and Guðrið Hansdóttir will
be joining us from the Faroe Islands
and TUYS, KLEIN, and Francis of De-
lirium will be coming from Luxem-
bourg. Keep your schedule open for
November 3-5! AE

release. We’re happy to hear it didn’t
stop there as they are taking over
one of Reykjavík’s most significant
venues together. Best head over to

Innipúkinn
July 29th - July 31st - Gamla Bío & Röntgen - 4990
- 8990 ISK
While most of the city
celebrates the holiday
weekend at Vestman-
naeyjar to attend the
infamous Þjóðhátíð
festival, Innipúkinn is for
those who would rather
stay in the city. The
name loosely translates
to “house monster”,
something introverts
and homebodies could
probably relate to. It’s
perfect for those who
can’t be bothered to join
the pilgrimage to Vest-
mannaeyjar and prefer a
smaller party, but don’t
let that fool you! The
three-day festival, tak-
ing place in Gamla Bío
and Röntgen, celebrates
its 20th anniversary this
year and their line-
up is top-tier. 12 acts
including Bríet, Bjartar
Sveiflur, Hipsumhaps and
Inspector Spacetime,
have already been an-
nounced and more are
to come.
Your grandkids may
one day ask you if you
attended Innipúkinn's
20th anniversary, why
would you want to dis-
appoint them? KW
