Aldrei fór ég suður

During this weekend, the number of inhabitants in Ísafjörður in the West Fjords usually doubles. It is partly the time for the annual ski week, partly it is the place for Iceland's most local patriotic music festival Aldrei fór ég suður. Everyone participates on equal terms. The audience pays no entrance and the artists receive no compensation. In addition, no artists are allowed to do a sound check before the concert - and no one, known or unknown, is allowed to play for more than 20 minutes.

This year Helgi Björnsson, Retro Stefson, Sólstafir, Mammút, Snorri Helgason, Hjaltalín, Grísalappalísa, Dj Flugvél og geimskip and Young Karin made the trip and here is a little bit of this fun gathering.
