Iceland Airwaves is an annual music event that started out in 1999 as a talent show for foreign record company executives. Since then Airwaves has grown and blossomed and is now an integral part of the cultural life in Reykjavík. The fruits of the festival's labour have been ripening and today many Icelandic artists have made their way to the International music scene. Airwaves has also become an essential part of the fall schedule for A&R agents and media worldwide. The festival attracts approximately 2.000 people from abroad annually (over half of those from the music industry) to sample the freshest sounds, foreign and domestic, some in the search of fresh talent, others for inspiration and yet others seeking adventure on the arctic circle.
