Get prepared! Put your sunscreen on! Buy your tickets and a surfboard!
Reykjavík Trópík 2006 is the new music event destined to warm up your summer in Reykjavík!

Initially conceived as an attempt to revitalize the University area through live music and social activities, Reykjavík Trópík has gradually evolved until acquiring a much larger scope and is set to become a new yearly appointment for both University students and concert-goers in Reykjavík and in whole Iceland.
Reykjavík Trópík proposes a new concept of music festival: a three-day long party focused on great music and on a truly international-flavored and outdoor atmosphere.
Reykjavík Trópík is produced under the sign of a great ambition – to provide participants and simple passer-bys with an experience, a unique experience: the suspension of disbelief and sense of place, the feeling of being somewhere entirely different!

Reykjavík Trópík 2006 will take place during one of the main party week-ends in the Country – Hvítasunnuhelgin – between Friday 2nd June and Sunday 4th June, on a green spot in front of the Main Building of the University of Iceland. The largest tent available in the Country (a 1.200 sq m pavilion) will provide shelter to the concert marathon – Icelandic weather suggests to be waterproof! – while smaller tents all around will offer refreshments, coffee, a marketplace and possibly more…
The music events are scheduled to daily start at 18:00. Before then, a number of side activities will be proposed to liven up the day (further details to come soon).

The line-up for Reykjavík Trópík 2006 includes more than twenty acts from the cream of Icelandic music scene, as well as a few foreign artists never seen before in Iceland… bands of such caliber as Supergrass and ESG…

Are you ready for a breeze of summer and some waves of novelty? Reykjavík Trópík awaits you…
