Festivals

Secret Solstice

Held annually around June 21, Secret Solstice is a rather “young” festival — it started in 2014 — which quickly grew to become one of the biggest in the country. In just a few years, it enjoyed headliners such as Radiohead, Foo Fighters, and Wu Tang Clan.

It has an inclination for rock bands, DJs, and hip hop with many local and international artists. As the name implies, revelers can dance all night long, or rather, all day long as it happens during the midnight sun natural event.

Reykjavik Art Festival

The Reykjavik Art Festival is a celebration of theater, dance, poetry, art, and design, attracting people from all over the world. It was established in 1970 and it’s one of the most respected and forward-thinking festivals in Europe. It takes place at the end of May or beginning of June and spans for two weeks with programs for all ages.
