This is a unique music festival experience, is taking place in Laugardalur Valley, in Reykjavík’s biggest public park. The exclusive side events are ever popular and combine specially curated music performances with stunning views of Icelandic nature and a fresh approach to throwing an amazing party. These standout events include a pool party in the geothermal natural pool of Hreppslaug, a glacial rave in the middle of—you guessed it—a glacier, and an intimate lava tunnel concert with performances by some of the best acoustic artists in Iceland.
NAME-DROPPING
Headliners will include the British sensation Stormzy, the metal legends Slayer, American hip-hop icon Gucci Mane and the supreme distinctive voice of Bonnie Tyler. Other notable artists include Clean Bandit, Death From Above, J Hus, Goldlink and the funk legend himself—George Clinton, performing with both of his bands, Funkadelic and Parliament. As Slayer and George Clinton announce their retirement from the stage after summer 2018, this festival will be one of the last opportunities to see these two music pioneers on stage. More than 120 artists are performing, including the very best of the Icelandic music scene, legendary DJs and groundbreaking bands.

With a booming music and creative community of Secret Solstice fans and artists, this festival is colorful, one-of-kind and full of music and fun. The sun will supply constant sunlight, fueling an energetic concert experience for everyone. Don’t miss out. This will be the best festival yet!
