Iceland Airwaves invited me to its annual music festival in Reykjavik — thanks to Icelandair.
With a multi-genre lineup, an array of historic venues, and a flexible schedule, it was perfect for a first-time visitor and avid concert-goer.

For instance, nothing beats taking a relaxing dip in the Blue Lagoon’s warm waters. The geothermal pool and its spa amenities will refresh you between concert days.

You can also take a day trip to see Iceland’s other natural wonders, including The Lava Tunnel. (Also, don’t forget the charming shops and restaurants along Reykjavik’s Laugavegur Street.)

The sightseeing doesn’t stop once the music festival gets underway. Iceland Airwaves takes place at several cool venues in downtown Reykjavik.

That’s just a few of the wonders that Iceland Airwaves and Reykjavik have to offer music fans and tourists. Fortunately, the festival will be returning next year, and yes, 2024 passes are already on sale.
