Iceland Airwaves goes Akureyri / goes USA / goes UK

Yesterday I posted about Iceland Airwaves @ London again.
But there's more to say.
The festival is not only going south, but also west (USA) & north (Akureyri, the capital of the North).

Enjoy Bloodgroup, Endless Dark, Sjálfsprottin Spévísi & Buxnaskjónar for a special Airwaves warm-up show on Saturday 28. August 2010 @ Græni Hatturinn, Akureyri.
Free admission!
