In just 7 days, festival-goers will stream into Iceland’s Secret Solstice festival for the annual three-day festival, which will be held at Laugardalur, in the world’s most northerly capital city, Reykjavík.

Secret Solstice was conceived to celebrate Iceland’s Summer Solstice, which allows for 72 hours of non-stop daylight, the festival’s sixth edition will feature: Kerri Chandler, Patrice Bäumel, James Zabiela, Night Lovelle, Desert Hearts, Patti Smith, Sugar Hill Gang, Black Eyed Peas, Hatari, Morcheeba, Pussy Riot, MK, Jonas Blue and Foreign Beggars. In addition, the festival will host its new off-site after-hours programming, Ragnarök, as well as mind-boggling once-in-a-lifetime side parties inside glaciers and lava tunnels. And if you need a break from dancing, one can easily arrange special day trips to relish in the country’s breathtaking scenery. And, don’t forget to check out Reykjavík’s vibrant creativity on glorious display in street art all over town.

What’s Special About Secret Solstice

“When we started this six years ago we had two goals: to throw a great festival and share the wonders of Iceland with the world. We’ve definitely made our mark on the festival circuit, delivering experiences unlike any other festival in the world. Now, I would like to add another goal, to strengthen our community at home. This festival is for everyone, travelers and locals. It’s one of the most special times of the year in Iceland, the summer solstice. It’s been celebrated for a thousand years and we’re honored to do our part in celebrating the midnight sun.” ~ Fred. Olafsson / Event founder
