Iceland Airwaves is a globally recognised brand with an outstanding reputation for shining light on new music talent. While only 350,000 people live in Iceland, the country’s global music footprint is oversized. People are drawn to the country’s tight knit music scene, creative dynamism and the incredible natural surroundings. 

Reykjavík is a short flight from the East Coast of North America, from the Nordics and from UK and mainland Europe, making it an unprecedented location for international business and cultural exchange. 

The evening program of Iceland Airwaves not only features the best Icelandic talent, but bands and attendees from all over the world.

Airwaves Pro takes place during the day on Thursday November 4 and Friday November 5, 2021. Iceland Airwaves takes place in the evenings from Wednesday November 3 until Saturday November 6.

For 2021, Airwaves Pro will be hosted at The Nordic House. The Nordic House is a five  minute walk for Reykjavik’s city call, well serviced by public transport and has ample parking and a cafe on-site.

The Nordic House is designed by acclaimed Finnish modernist architect Alvar Aalto (1898-1976). The house is one of his later works, a hidden gem among the better-known masterpieces, and features most of Aalto’s signature traits. 

Airwaves Pro welcomes everyone from musicians to music executives, and everything in-between.
