Iceland Airwaves
The timing of this year´s conference is perfect for those wanting to experience a festival of musical hedonism as YAIC will be coinciding with Iceland Airwaves. The festival takes place October 12th – 16th in various venues in central Reykjavik and has become one of the most premier annual showcases for new music – Icelandic and otherwise – in the world. This year´s lineup includes some of the hottest new artists in Iceland, Europe and North America.
Iceland Airwaves has made a heap of friends and won many fans along the way, and been lavished with praise pretty much everywhere they write about music. Example: Rolling Stone magazine called it “The hippest long weekend on the annual music-festival calendar.”
Some of the world’s most exciting artists have performed there, too. The Shins, The Rapture, TV On The Radio, Florence and the Machine, Klaxons, Hot Chip, Flaming Lips, Wolf Parade, Bloc Party and Fatboy Slim have made the short hop from Europe or North America to share the stages with Iceland’s finest talents, including bands such as Sigur Rós, FM Belfast, GusGus, múm, Singapore Sling and Dr Spock, to name but a few. And when the live bands have done their thing, top DJs from all over the world spin across the city until the crack of dawn.
