# Event Details - **Event Name**: Upprásin | j. bear & the cubs, Venus Volcanism og Gargan - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 pm (+00:00) - **Event Description**: Á þessum tónleikum koma fram j. bear & the cubs, Venus Volcanism og Gargan. Harpa, í samstarfi við Tónlistarborgina Reykjavík, Rás 2 og Landsbankann, stendur fyrir Upprásinni, tónleikaröð sem tileinkuð er grasrót íslenskrar tónlistar, þvert á tónlistarstefnur. Upprásin fer nú fram þriðja árið í röð og munu samtals 27 hljómsveitir koma fram, þrjár á hverju tónleikakvöldi. Tónleikaröðin er liður í því að framfylgja dagskrárstefnu Hörpu um bætt aðgengi grasrótar og ungs fólks í öllum tónlistargreinum og auka við fjölbreytni. Markmiðið er einnig að tónlistaráhugafólk geti gengið að því vísu að heyra fjölbreytta nýja íslenska tónlist, beint úr grasrót tónlistarlífsins, flutta við kjöraðstæður í tónlistarhúsi þjóðarinnar. Miðaverð er aðeins 2000 kr. en hægt er að leggja til hærri upphæð í miðasöluferlinu sem rennur beint til listafólksins. J.BEAR & THE CUBS Hljómsveitin j. bear & the cubs varð til í lok febrúar 2025 og einungis til að spila á Músíktilraunum en þegar boltinn var kominn af stað hætti hann ekki að rúlla. Nú er leiðtogi bandsins á fullu að klára öll lögin sem gleymdust yfir árin og hljómsveitin stefnir á að spila hvar og hvenær sem er til að dreifa góðri orku og boðskap kærleikans sem hljóðar svo: Þú þarft ekki að þjást í einrúmi. Hljómsveitina skipa Jasper Matthew Bunch, Óðinn Ýmisson, Sigurður Már Gestsson og Sindri Þór Atlason. VENUS VOLCANISM Venus Volcanism er listamannsnafn Rena Rasouli en hún er söngkona, tónskáld og hljóðlistakona, ættuð frá Krít í Grikklandi og búsett á Siglufirði. Hún blandar í fíngerðum og seiðandi verkum sínum meðal annars saman söng, rafhljóðum og vettvangsupptökum en innblástur og yrkisefni sækir hún í náttúru, þjóðlagaarf og heilunarmátt hljóðsins svo eitthvað sé nefnt. Hún hefur sent frá sér plöturnar Rizitiko (2020) og Tissue (2023), sú síðarnefnda er nokkurs konar persónulegur leiðangur um íslenskt landslag þar sem vettvangsupptökur af eldhræringum, hafstraumum og öðrum náttúruhljóðum fléttast inn í mínímalískan hljóðheim. Hún hefur einnig samið tónlist við danskvikmyndina Ruins Within Ruins. Venus Volcanism hefur komið fram á tónleikum og tónlistarhátíðum í Danmörku, Grikklandi og á Íslandi, má þar nefna Extreme Chill Festival, Snæfjallahátíð og Into Festival í Alþýðuhúsinu á Siglufirði. Hún er einnig annar helmingur dúettsins V.V.I.A en upphaflega átti dúettinn að koma fram saman í Upprásinni. GARGAN Gargan skapar fjölbreyttan heim hljóða þar sem heyra má klarinettlínur, umhverfishljóð, biluð heimilistæki og klassísk heimilisáhöld, hljóðgervla og raddir. Þær bjóða hlustendum í ferðalag um ólíka hljóðheima og skoða allan tilfinningaskalann. Í lifandi flutningi gargar klarínettleikari í gegnum hljóðfærið sitt og við heyrum rafskruð og óhljóð úr öllum stærðum og gerðum. Tónlistin er bæði hrá og djúp, skipulögð en stjórnlaus í senn. Tónlistin er frumsamin. Gargan skipa Bergþóra Kristbergsdóttir og Hulda Ragnhildur Hjálmarsdóttir. *** Jelena Ciric, sem upphaflega var auglýst á þessu kvöldi kemur fram í Upprásinni, 10.mars 2026. --- This concert will feature j.bear & the cubs, Venus Volcanism and Gargan.

J.BEAR & THE CUBS The band j. bear & the cubs was formed at the end of February 2025 and only to play at Músíktilraunir, but once the ball got going it didn't stop rolling. Now the band's leader is busy finishing all the songs that were forgotten over the years and the band plans to play anywhere and anytime to spread good energy and the message of love that goes: "You don't have to suffer in private." Band members are Jasper Matthew Bunch, Óðinn Ýmisson, Sigurður Már Gestsson and Sindri Þór Atlason. VENUS VOLCANISM Venus Volcanism is the solo music and sound art project of Rena Rasouli, a vocalist, composer, producer and sound explorer originally from Crete, Greece, currently based in Siglufjörður ,Northern Iceland. Her artistic practice focuses on voice as a tool of memory, healing and transformation, merging tradition with experimental sound to create deeply immersive and emotionally resonant experiences.Venus Volcanism has performed live in Greece, Denmark and Iceland. Her performances often expand beyond the concert format, incorporating site-specific sound, spatial listening and ritualistic elements. GARGAN Gargan creates a diverse world of sounds; clarinet textures, ambient sounds, recordings of broken appliances and classic household items, synthesizers and voices. They invite listeners on a journey through different sound worlds and explore the full range of emotions. In a live performance, a clarinetist gurgles through his instrument and we hear electronic noises and noises of all shapes and sizes. The music is both raw and deep, structured but uncontrolled at the same time. Gargan are Bergþóra Kristbergsdóttir and Hulda Ragnhildur Hjálmarsdóttir. *** Please note that Jelena Ciric, who was in the initial lineup for the concert, will perform on March 10 in Upprásin Concert Series. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/reykjav%C3%ADk/upprásin-|-j-bear-and-the-cubs-venus-volcanism-og-gargan/200029572867448 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, concerts, art, festivals, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 24 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: http://facebook.com/200029572867448?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=reykjav%C3%ADk-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Reykjavík - **state**: RE - **country**: Iceland - **location**: Austurbakki 2, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland - **lat**: 64.15042 - **long**: -21.93257 - **full address**: Austurbakki 2, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland, Austurbakki 2, 101 Reykjavíkurborg, Ísland, Reykjavík, Iceland ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: Harpa tónlistar- og ráðstefnuhús / Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre (https://allevents.in/org/harpa-tónlistar-og-ráðstefnuhús-harpa-concert-hall-and-conference-centre/1904701) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/a2eecdbcf8d3a4af60ecbe4e5eea6f5dca1c93092cebc251f1e1c930231887c2-rimg-w1200-h628-dc6068ae-gmir?v=1774751372 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Uppr%C3%A1sin+%7C+j.+bear+%26+the+cubs%2C+Venus+Volcanism+og+Gargan&date=14+Apr ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+00:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Austurbakki 2, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland, Austurbakki 2, 101 Reykjavíkurborg, Ísland, Reykjavík, Iceland - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Harpa tónlistar- og ráðstefnuhús / Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** music, entertainment, concerts, art, festivals, live-music - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Upprásin | j. bear & the cubs, Venus Volcanism og Gargan ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "MusicEvent", "name": "Upprásin | j. bear & the cubs, Venus Volcanism og Gargan", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/a2eecdbcf8d3a4af60ecbe4e5eea6f5dca1c93092cebc251f1e1c930231887c2-rimg-w1200-h628-dc6068ae-gmir?v=1774751372", "startDate": "2026-04-14T20:00:00+00:00", "endDate": "2026-04-14T22:00:00+00:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/reykjav%C3%ADk/upprásin-|-j-bear-and-the-cubs-venus-volcanism-og-gargan/200029572867448", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Austurbakki 2, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Austurbakki 2, 101 Reykjavíkurborg, Ísland", "addressLocality": "Reykjavík", "addressRegion": "RE", "addressCountry": "IS" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "64.15042", "longitude": "-21.93257" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Á þessum tónleikum koma fram j. bear & the cubs, Venus Volcanism og Gargan.\n\nHarpa, í samstarfi við Tónlistarborgina Reykjavík, Rás 2 og Landsbankann, stendur fyrir Upprásinni, tónleikaröð sem tileinkuð er grasrót íslenskrar tónlistar, þvert á tónlistarstefnur.
