Revolt in the Viking Capital: Iceland Airwaves Unleashes a New Wave of Artists

Over 40 new artists have stormed the line-up for Iceland Airwaves, taking aim at the status quo with The Itch's chaotic beats and Heartworms' fuzzed-out folk. Any Young Mechanic's off-kilter pop will be just as welcome on this year's eclectic mix. Long a hub of musical innovation, Reykjavik is set to become an even more compelling destination for music fans.

The 27th edition promises to be the most unpredictable yet.
