The international Melodica Festival will be taking place in Reykjavik on 26-28 August, and organisers have set up a crowd-funding site to help cover the cost of a bigger international line up.
Melodica Festival will take place at Kex Hostel on the Friday and Saturday, and then move to Café Rosenberg for a chilled-out Sunday set. Melodica boasts a large line-up of songwriters from all over the world and the local music scene.

This is the ninth consecutive year Melodica Festival is being held in Iceland. It also takes place in countries such as Austria, Denmark, Germany, Norway, the UK and the USA.
From the very outset, the festival has been funded by donations to help cover the travel costs of the international artists.

Numerous local artists have already been confirmed for Melodica along with eight international artists, including OAZO (DE), Peter Piek (DE) and White Note (FR). The full line-up will be announced in the coming weeks.
Those donating to the Karolina Fund campaign (link here ) will receive some cool prizes, ranging from digital downloads of songs and signed posters from participating artists to a signed ukulele from Icelandic artist and organiser Svavar Knútur.
