As every Easter week since 2004, next week will see the Aldrei fór ég suður rock festival grace the small picturesque West Fjords town of Ísafjörður.

The festival – now one of Iceland’s most popular music festivals – is the brainchild of Icelandic musician Mugison and will see its thirteenth outing on 24-26 March.

Confirmed artists at the event include Emiliana Torrini, Úlfur Úlfur and Glowie.

The festival is held in conjunction with ‘Ski Week’, a winter activity festival with various skiing and cultural events.
