  Daði Freyr

  Daði Freyr is an Icelandic singer, songwriter, and producer known for his witty lyricism, infectious synth-pop, and joyful unpredictability. He rose to global attention with his 2020 hit "Think About Things", which went viral during lockdown, earning over 100 million streams and praise from P!nk, James Corden, and Russell Crowe.

  His new album Too Much, Not Enough, out May 8th, marks a new chapter. Co-written with collaborators for the first time, it's his most emotionally honest work yet: a record about self-acceptance, about being who you actually are rather than who you think others want to see.

  After years in Berlin, Daði returned to Iceland in 2025, and that sense of coming home, of settling into something real, runs through every track.

  This autumn, Daði brings his live show to the US and Canada. Performing alone on stage with self-built instruments and hand-crafted visuals, it's an intimate, one-of-a-kind experience and the connection with his audience remains, as ever, the thing he loves most.

  Yaelokre

  "Meadowlark is a vibrant world full of story and song, never without melody. Golden pastures applaud as the passerines take the sky as their stage, puttering roots beneath humming groves, sonorous winds welcoming evergreen for a dance. All is a choir, a masque, a performance, and everyone is promised to play a part."

  𓆱 The Storyteller

  Yaelokre is a minstrel and storybook illustrator warbling fable by song. Enthralled by plays and fairytales, kindling their wish to make their own. A world now known as "Meadowlark" a source of its magic and inspiration, the trills of a forgotten field, crooning airs of the four cradles: The Harkers.

  Mammút

  Mammút are melodic and catchy and beautiful and addictive. They are also darker and heavier than you think they are—maybe they tricked you? This is true though: Mammút craft distorted and beautiful lullabies while maintaining a solid grasp on melody and an eternally independent spirit.

  Oyama

  Since their start in 2012, five-piece Oyama has been building a steady reputation as one of Reykjavík’s finest rock bands. Their sound is rooted in the shoegaze of the 90s, and their music pivots between soothing, airy dream pop and fuzzy, psychedelic noise rock. The band reaches high sonic peaks and awakens deep sensations with its mixture of spacious, noisy soundscapes, tender vocal harmonies, and lyrics built on a solid foundation of teen angst and enduring friendship.

  Oyama have released two LPs (‘Coolboy’ and ‘Everyone Left’) and two EPs (‘I Wanna’ and ‘Opaque Days’). They have performed at showcase festivals and events all over Europe, including Iceland Airwaves, Eurosonic, by Larm, The Great Escape, Club NME, Ja Ja Ja, and Air D’Islande, as well as playing to packed audiences in Japan.
