Warpaint, Samaris, Kate Tempest, Minor Victories, and Torres are leading an exciting new wave of acts for Iceland Airwaves 2016.
Homegrown talent gets a big boost too, with 40 more Icelandic artists added - including Fufanu, Vök, and dj. flugvél og geimskip.
These new names will be joining some rather special acts that have already been announced, including PJ Harvey, Julia Holter, Lush, múm and Kronos Quartet, and Reykjavíkurdætur.
Iceland Airwaves 2016 takes place across Reykjavík, Iceland on 2-6 November.
Tickets are on sale now. There are also a range of travel and accommodation packages available.
