Iceland Airwaves

Iceland Airwaves is a music festival held annually in early November in Reykjavík, Iceland.

The festival spans three days (Thursday - Saturday) and its main focus is showcasing new music, both Icelandic and international.

Festival
The first show was held in 1999 as a one-off event in an airplane hangar at Reykjavík Airport.

Iceland Airwaves is promoted and produced by Iceland Music Export, and is sponsored by its founder Icelandair in cooperation with the City of Reykjavik.
