The excitement is building in Reykjavík as Iceland Airwaves drops its second wave of announcements, packing an even punchier punch for the 27th edition of this world-renowned festival! Over 40 new acts have been added to the bill, including London-based sensation Heartworms and high-energy trio The Itch. This expansion is a masterstroke, building on an already stellar initial lineup that promises a truly unforgettable cultural experience in November.
Heart-pumping live performances are set to transform Reykjavík into a sonic playground from November 5-7, but Iceland Airwaves is more than just a music festival – it's a comprehensive experience. The event boasts an industry conference where the likes of 'Anybody in There? Human Curation in the Age of the Algorithm' and 'From Local to Global: Against The Odds' will get industry insiders buzzing about the future of music production, distribution, and audience engagement.
UK acts Heartworms, known for their raucous live shows and recent success following the release of debut album 'Glutton For Punishment', bring a buzz of energy to the festival. Fellow Londoners The Itch will make their Icelandic debut, bringing their high-octane basement party vibes to an international stage for the very first time. Other UK acts set to shine include Esmeralda Road, Formal Speedwear, and Revenge of Calculon.
But that's not all – global music stars Shygirl and The Streets will also be taking to the stages alongside a special performance by Daði Freyr & The Iceland Symphony Orchestra. It's clear that Iceland Airwaves is a must-attend for any music fan, with its reputation for spotting emerging talent and giving them a global platform.
