  • Iceland take over the Airwaves image
  • Reykjavik's Iceland Airwaves festival will return next month with headlining performances from The Field and Gus Gus. The four-day event is now entering its eleventh year, and will again be based in multiple venues around the city centre, culminating in an outdoor party at the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa on Saturday 17th October. Airwaves' music policy isn't focused strictly on electronic sounds, with plenty of guitar bands like Micachu & The Shapes and Erland Oye's Kings Of Convenience sharing the stage with local Icelandic talent, but there's still a wide variety of acts present to satisfy fans looking for a bit of a boogie. Axel Willner will join homeland heroes Gus Gus for a melody-soaked Kompakt double-header, while Trentemøller and Bugged Out! resident JoJo De Freq will turn the temperature up a notch with their techy electro-tinged jack tracks. After accompanying Gus Gus on their European tour, Wareika are set to bring their jazzy house shenanigans to the festival stage, while those looking for something a little more cerebral can check out electronica from the likes of Tim Hecker and Raster-Noton's Kangding Ray.
