Iceland’s Secret Solstice, which offers one of the most unique festival experiences in the world due to its never-ending daylight weekend on June 15-18, has announced the full lineups for their bucket-list side party events plus their day-by-day schedule and set times. With dance parties inside of a glacier, a midnight sun boat party, and acoustic performances inside of a lava tunnel, attendees can choose from six incredible add-on parties to an already stellar lineup.  Welcoming the Foo Fighters, The Prodigy, Chaka Khan, and Rick Ross to close out each evening with the midnight sun, festival-goers can now plan their days around dance music takeovers from Circoloco and SCI+TEC and Secret Solstice’s biggest hip hop lineup ever with Big Sean, Anderson .Paak, Pharoahe Monch, Young M.A  and much more.

Inviting partygoers to enter one of the world’s most extreme party environments ever, Secret Solstice’s Into The Glacier parties will see a lucky 125 guests per party venture under the surface of Europe’s second largest glacier, Langjökull, for a trio of one-of-a-kind events. On Friday, June 16, Red Bull presents Norwegian electro-experimentalist BAYA and his world of hypnotic electronic music. Then on Saturday, June 17, global dance music brand Ministry of Sound hosts the underground sounds of UK DJ duo Dusky with a homecoming performance from Icelandic duo Thugfucker. Closing out the weekend, two-time GRAMMY-nominated rapper, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Anderson .Paak, will perform within the frozen walls of Langjökull’s cool “blue ice” for an intimate once-in-a-lifetime performance in addition to his appearance on the main festival grounds with support from Icelandic rapper Blaz Roca.
