Solstice concert in Grímsey - electric outdoor concert

Solstice concert in Grímsey - electric outdoor concert

The northernmost electrical outdoor concert
The northernmost electrical outdoor concert will be held in the sunniest place in Iceland. Grímsey being the furthest northern point of Iceland and not hindered by any mountains this is the only location in Iceland where the sun shines 24 hours of the day during the solstice.
 
The concert will be unique because it will be electric. For the second year in a row, a group of young people will move an electric power generator to the uninhabited northern end of the island and host this event.
 
Performers:
Ivan Mendez
Diana Sus
TOR
