Iceland Airwaves, which was crowned Best Indoor Festival at the 2022 European Festival Awards, will feature Reykjavík venues for 2023 including Reykjavík Art Museum, Gamla Bíó, Iðnó, Fríkirkjan Church, Gaukurinn and Húrra.

Iceland Airwaves is dedicated to booking gender-balanced line-ups as part of the festival’s ongoing work with Keychange, and having honoured the pledge just as soon as it was signed in 2019, gender-parity still remains a vital part of what the festival represents and the community of creatives that it reflects.

Iceland Airwaves 2023 will take place in Reykjavík from 2-4 November. Visit icelandairwaves.is for more information and tickets.
