Iceland Airwaves 2026 drops traditional headliner model, adds three standalone showsMachine translation

Iceland Airwaves 2026 is moving away from its traditional headliner model and adding three shows featuring Shygirl, Daði Freyr and The Streets outside the main program. The long-standing venue Reykjavík Art Museum is also absent this year; the bookings and program manager cited rising hire costs and restrictions on fire safety, curfew and noise.
