No sooner has the dust settled after this year’s Sónar Reykjavik music festival than the dates for the 2017 event have been confirmed – and it could pay to plan ahead.

The contract for the fifth annual Sónar festival in the Icelandic capital in 2017 has been signed and the dates 16-18 February decided upon.

Well over 1,000 foreign visitors came to Iceland to attend the popular music event this year, which concluded on Saturday.

A “very limited” number of special ‘early bird’ tickets are available for Sónar 2017 for those already decided upon attending next year. Those lucky enough to get hold of an early bird ticket will pay ISK 8,990 ISK/65 EUR instead of the full price of 19,990 ISK/140 EUR.
