Radiohead headline Iceland’s Secret Solstice festival
Radiohead, Róisín Murphy, Afrika Bambaataa, Kelela, and Action Bronson are the new names added to the Reykjavík, Iceland Secret Solstice festival from June 17th – 19th this year. The only party inside a glacier is the festival’s tagline.
Secret Solstice is held over the solstice weekend as the name suggests (the same weekend as Body & Soul) which results in three days of constant daylight. One of the additional attractions is the Midnight Sun Boat Party, a late-night DJ event on a boat that takes guests out into the Atlantic to watch the sun touch the horizon after midnight. It’s limited to 200 tickets. There’s also a party at Flúðir, a geothermal outdoor pool, one of the things you must do when in Iceland.
Tickets start from €175 for three days with VIP packages offered. Accommodation is via hotels, Airbnb etc in the city.
