For several years now, this Icelandic event has been growing into a huge festival. The Iceland Airwaves Festival always takes place in downtown Reykjavik, each year on the third week of October.
There are two types of locations: main venues and "off-venue" locations. The 8 main venues (clubs and bars) are easy to find, in downtown Reykjavik - especially if you're familiar with the nightlife in Reykjavik.
Off-venue performances are parties, DJ & band gigs, etc., are held in music stores and smaller bars. All in all, the Iceland Airwaves Festival offers music-lovers over 170 national and international stars and starlets.
Make sure not to miss a big part of the Iceland Airwaves Festival - the official Saturday night party in the Blue Lagoon!
Tickets for the festival are available on the Iceland Airwaves Website. Watch out for special festival offers for travelers from the local airline Icelandair. Hotel rooms may be harder to come by during the festival, so take a look at great Reykjavik hotels and book early.
