Iceland Airwaves comes to London!
Iceland Airwaves is one of the world’s premier
international music showcases. It has hosted artists such as Florence and the Machine, Klaxons, Hot Chip, Flaming Lips, Fatboy Slim,
Vampire Weekend, Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party.
Now Airwaves is coming to London for a
special warm-up gig, showcasing some of the artists that will perform at this
year’s festival. Headlining the
event will be Alex Metric, who will
perform full live band. Previously
he has sold out gigs at Hoxton Square Bar,and Kitchen, has packed tents at
Glastonbury and Global Gathering and worked with artists such as Ladyhawke, Phoenix, La Roux, Fenech Soler
and Gorillaz just to name a few. His live performance is absolutely incendiary
and not to be missed.
Support will be provided by one of the
hottest and most cutting-edge bands of the moment , Factory Floor, which the NME bestowed a rare 9/10 review for
their recent mini album. Their live performances supporting Fuck Buttons, Liars
and others have become the stuff of legend for their intense, visceral
performances.
Also on the bill are Icelandic legends Retro Stefson and Snorri
Helgason, who have pack out every show in their home country and are
already creating stir internationally. To keep the party going Jerry Bouthier (J-Bag, Kitsune,
Ponystep) will be providing an excuse keep everyone on their feet and dance the
Hoxton night away.
Oh, Yes! While we remember, we will be
giving away 2 tickets to Iceland
Airwaves (flights, hotels and admission to the festival included, terms and
conditions apply) Available to those who attend the actual event!
This
party will most definitely cause eruptions!
