Icelandair Swings!
The concert scene in Iceland blossoms these days and Icelandair is in the midst of it all. Striving to add
international flavour to the music scene in Iceland, Icelandair has assisted several groups in visiting the
country. From the smooth rhythm of salsa to hard-core German rock, the audience's reception has
been phenomenal.
In April Buena Vista Social Club, a Cuban salsa band, visited Iceland and in June Icelanders got to listen
live to Rammstein, a German rock band. Both bands had the intention of staging only a single concert
in Reykjavík, but due to the great demand, both bands set up extra concerts. The demand was so
incredible that all four concerts sold out in a matter of hours. In all, the two bands attracted 6.5% of
Iceland's population to Laugardalshöll in Reykjavík for some extraordinary shows of fantastic music.
A national record in I-commerce was set when
Val.is, a non-travel special offer site run by the
Icelandair Frequent Flyer Program, sold 2,000
tickets online to the latter Rammstein concert.
All the tickets sold out within a few hours, thus
setting a record both in the number of tickets
sold online and for revenue in one day.
Both Buena Vista Social Club and Rammstein
came to Iceland on behalf of Iceland Airwaves
and with the assistance of Icelandair. Iceland
Airwaves is an Icelandair annual music festival
which has attracted both critical acclaim and
international media attention, and has become a
main event on the Icelandic music calendar and
a platform for new and exciting Icelandic and
non-Icelandic bands. Next up in the series of
concerts is Coldplay, a British rock band touring
the world these days, with a concert on the
22nd of August. In September, Iceland has the
great honour of welcoming one of 'The Three
Tenors', when José Carreras sets foot on
Icelandic ground. Joining him on stage for this
fantastic event is the famed Icelandic singer
Sigrún Hjálmtýsdóttir, who has performed with
the Icelandic Symphony, and with many presti-
gious symphonies and soloists in Scandinavia,
Italy, Britain, Japan, the United States and more.
The duo will, without a doubt, entertain both
Icelanders and hundreds of travellers already
set to come from abroad to Reykjavík with the
intention of watching when Spanish fire meets
Icelandic ice!
So far, 2001 has been an exceptional year for
Icelandic music fans and there is more yet to
come !
