Local additions

We have now added additional 56 local acts to the already amazing line up.  We experienced a high volume of local applications for this years festival and we are therefore happy to say that there will be 25 debuts at Iceland Airwaves 09.  Total number of local bands performing will therefore be around 100.   See more info on the bands confirmed so far on our website.  More bands will be announced in the next few days.

Cancer Bats & Kerrang

This year, like previous years,  the music magazine Kerrang! will host one of our stages at the festival.  Headlining will be in the hands of the incredible Cancer Bats from Canada. “We are going to lose our f***ing minds at that show! Everyone should prepare themselves for the heaviest show they’ll ever witness” said their front man Liam Cormier about their forthcoming Airwaves performance.
