I'd wear more than that if I were you...
CSS - singer Lovefoxxx pictured - are among the first batch of acts confirmed for this year's Iceland Airwaves festival, held in Reykjavik on October 15-19.
Also on the bill for the annual city-wide festival:
Florence & The Machine, Handsome Furs, Simian Mobile Disco, Miracle Fortress, Final Fantasy, Robots In Disguise, Gus Gus, White Lies, Junior Boys, Crystal Castles, Young Knives and many more from home and abroad.
Find loads more information - y'know, getting there and stuff - from the festival's official website.
Seriously, girl, at least pack a cardigan.
ill be there
its the 10 year annivarary, gonna be good
So much fun
Last year. Fingers crossed for a return to Reykjavik!
what a poor start
i hope the line up gets better
Final Fantasy
too is confirmed. that's good. I'll be there..
the local lineup
is the real spectacle at airwaves
I saw CSS on Sunday
and they were piss poor. They don't sound like a band that have been playing/touring together for as long as they have. More like they've spent a week trying to learn the songs before going out on stage.
I have to go to this festival
Anyone knows where I can find cheap tickets?
The cheapest I found was for £220.. is that about right??
yeh icelandair do ticket accomodation combo
its slightly cheaper to go with icelandexpress and book accomodation separatly
Getting there
but you get the full pass by taking icelandair
Holiday?
I have heard rave reviews about Airwaves and missed out last year. Definitely looking into it for 2008 - did anyone combine it with a holiday to Iceland last year? I guess the words holiday and iceland might sound odd to some, especially in the winter but am curious.. What else can we see in a week?
well
you can do the golden circle tour in a day from reykjavik, which is geyser and gullfoss.
and during the day at airwaves there are loads of performances in record shops etc.
to be honest, i'd recommend going to iceland seperately to the trip to airwaves if you want to do it properly and hire a car, as everything good is miles away from reykjavik.
