Ólafur Kram,
Lempi Elo, K.óla
January 13 — 19:00 —
Mengi — 3.000 ISK
Ólafur Kram's music
is a blend of various
elements, emotive, yet
slightly mysterious.
After seeing them at the
2022 Iceland Airwaves,
we simply cannot afford
to skip such a fun gig.
Finnish singer-song-
writer Lempi Elo and
K.óla, the Grapevine
Music Award winning
solo project of Reykja-
víking-turned-Copen-
hagener Katrín Helga
Ólafsdóttir, will also be
performing. IZ
Dark Music Days
January 23-29 — Multiple Venues at multiple times
Since their first edition in 1980, we’ve been relying
on this contemporary music festival to pull us out
of those January blues. Dark Music Days focuses on
debuting new and innovative projects, emphasising
the experimentation and diversity of the Icelandic
music scene. This year’s programme offers a vari-
ety of concerts and compositions by a broad range
of artists — from the known (Icelandic Symphony
Orchestra), to the lesser known (Mörsugur). KW
Freyjufest
January 21 — Harpa Concert Hall — 5.200-8.000
ISK
The jazz festival’s very first edition will feature six
acts from the USA, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway,
Sweden, and Iceland, including Broken Cycle,
Anneleen Boehme, Ingibjörg Turchi Band, Anna
Gréta Trio, Myra Melford, and Sarah Chaksad Ensem-
ble. Tickets are available for either day concerts,
evening concerts, or pick up a full festival pass that
includes all the concerts. IZ
