It started in an airplane hanger in 1999 and has now become one of the biggest music festivals in the entire world, especially for new and innovative music. Iceland Airwaves is a week-long music party that offers everything from clubs and great bands to cultured nightlife entertainment. And the artists that are featured at the festival come from many places, not just Iceland. Often, bands from Europe and North America share the stage with the Icelandic favorites.
One big perk to the festival is the location. In addition to the opportunity for music fanatics to party their hearts away, the days can be filled with viewing geysers, walking behind waterfalls, hiking volcanoes, or soaking in the world-famous geothermal spas. Or, for the more culturally sophisticated, time spent studying the museums and the historical significance of Iceland is an option. All of this is generally purchased in one inclusive package, covering airfare, the music festival, and more fun. Looking for a way to spend a week in Iceland? Do it the music way; do it with Iceland Airwaves.
