Iceland Airwaves and Icelandair are pleased to announce the first details of this year's special 10th year celebration festival.
The country's biggest annual music event will take place in downtown Reykjavik between 15-19th October.
Iceland Airwaves 2008 celebrates its 10th Anniversary this year with a stellar line-up of new talent from around the globe, alongside a host of exclusive DJ sets and after show parties that singles it out as the prime European attraction in the festival calendar.
Its location, set amongst the sprawling expanse of beautiful Iceland, gives Airwaves an inspiring and creative setting, and the ultimate experience for any festival-goer.
Airwaves is already renowned across the world for breaking new British acts including Keane, Hot Chip, and The Klaxons, as well as appearances by the biggest names in the musical sphere including Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, Flaming Lips, Sigur Ros, Fatboy Slim, The Hives, and The Rapture.
With special headline acts still be announced, the first names to be revealed for this year's line-up are Brazilian party favourites CSS, The Young Knives, Crystal Castles and These New Puritans. Also confirmed are the hotly tipped British combination of White Lies and Florence and The Machine, both set to follow in the footsteps of Iceland Airwaves' unique habit of showcasing the hottest names early.
Also set to perform this year are Final Fantasy, Simian Mobile Disco, Junior Boys, Robots In Disguise, Stars Like Fleas, The Dirty Projectors, GusGus, The Miracle Fortress, Handsome Furs, Familjen, and Australia's Pnau.
Alongside the line-up of excellent acts performing at this year's 10th Anniversary event, is the host of club events and aftershow parties that occur throughout the festival, taking the experience through to the next day's musical acts. This year's line-up is without exception, with special club nights set to be doubled in order to celebrate its ten years of existence. The infamous hangover party at the Blue Lagoon remains, with a relaxing, tranquil morning spent in the company of the world's hottest new DJs within the serene setting of Iceland's most photographed outdoor spa.
The festival's sponsor, Icelandair, are offering special UK package deals to get festival goers to and from Iceland, and includes entry to the event too.
