Iceland Airwaves is a music festival held annually in November in Reykjavík, Iceland, since 1999. Its main focus is showcasing new music, both Icelandic and international.
Background
The event is promoted and produced by Iceland Music Export and sponsored by its founder, Icelandair, in cooperation with the City of Reykjavík.
In February 2018, the event managing company, Sena Live, bought the logo and all associated trademarks of Iceland Airwaves.
History
The first festival was held in October 1999 as a one-off event in an airplane hangar at Reykjavík Airport. In 2014, the event switched to being held in November.
In 2018, 50% of the performers at Iceland Airwaves were female, making the festival one of the first to include gender equality in its lineup.
In 2020 and 2021, the festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was held in 2022 and 2023, with a three-day schedule instead of four, as in previous years.
