Its intimate. The festival is going to portrait how a prestige brand can redefine it self in smaller locations and venues. The new concert house, Harpa and the joy of music will be a stark contrast opposite the Icelandic winter and the arctic darkness outside. Sónar Reykjavik is also an experiment in how music can reach those who truly seek it by those performing it and seeing that it´s not always the largest stage and the biggest crowd that matters but also about the unique relationship that forms and the memories for all involved. Trying to fit into the footsteps of the pioneering Sónar Barcelona festival is hard but hosting an Sónar Reykjavik festival which strives to deliver the experience and artists line up Sónar Barcelona would be proud of is something we truly believe is possible.
Sónar Reykjavik takes place on four stages with the total capacity of 3500 guests. Beside the two main stages a part of the concert halls underground parking will be changed in to a nightclub were local and international DJ´s will perform during the festival. A scenic part of the concert house will also be changed into a stage.
The line up will include around 15 international acts including DJ´s and some 30 Icelandic bands and DJ´s.
