Dúettinn TÁR skipa þær Elín Ey og Zöe Ruth Erwin. Saman spinna þær áhrifaríkar sögur í gegnum tónlist sem er persónuleg, tjáningarrík og opin. Hljóðheimurinn undir áhrifum af kantrí, poppi og tilraunakenndri þjóðlagatónlist, í textunum, sem sveiflast á milli einlægni og kaldhæðni, er sótt í persónuleg og sammannleg stef úr hversdeginum. TÁR kemur hér fram ásamt Eyþóri Gunnarssyni á hljómborð og Kidda Snæ á trommur.

NEI skipa Birgir Jakob Hansen, söngur / hljóðgervlar / forritun, Snorri Rafn Hallsson, gítar og Tómas Ævar Ólafsson, bassi. Hljómsveitin leikur íslenskt síðpönk eða kuldarokk innblásið af Joy Division, Interpol, Sisters of Mercy og Baraflokknum svo eitthvað sé nefnt. Hljóðheimur NEI er kuldalegur þar sem taktfastur bassinn hamast undir beittum gítar og fljótandi hljóðgervlum. NEI fangar íslenska veturinn og færir hlustendum beint í æð. Fyrsta plata hljómsveitarinnar NEI, ALDREI, kom út snemma sumars 2025 og bauð hlustendum upp á síðpönk sem blæs eins og vindurinn, stingur eins og frostið. Lagið Stundum hlaut spilun bæði á Rás 2 og X-inu og endaði á árslista Straums fyrir 2025.

Iceland based producer and performer knackered is characterised by what's been described as “fun-as-hell underground club music in the vein of SOPHIE or A.G. Cook” by SPIN. Her debut EP fyi (for your information) that was released through Icelandic label Marvaða on November 6th, 2025, received the Kraumur Award as top six best Icelandic releases of the year, and she received the The Reykjavík Grapevine’s Music
Awards as Best Live Act in 2026. Her genre-defying and playful electronic productions that merge contemporary club music with pop structures got her nominated for Reykjavik Grapevine's Music Awards as One to Watch in 2025 and throughout the year she’s continued to excite audiences at anything from sweaty
basement parties and queer raves to Iceland Airwaves’ showcase festival.

TÁR is the dreamy and innovative Icelandic alternative-folk partnership of Elín Ey and Zöe Ruth Erwin. While their sound dances between the genres of folk, country, and alternative and pop, it somehow lands onto an island all its own. Together, they create a vast world of storytelling and musical tapestry; navigating through life’s most tangible themes, big and small. Combining their shared experiences in life with an emotive approach to instrumentation and soundscapes, TÁR zooms in on the relatable narratives of everyday life and offers a shared space for the listener to recognize themselves within it on a deeply human level. Their combination of intimate acoustic instrumental foundation, ethereal and haunting vocals, playful synth and atmospheric layers, and lyrics that both cut with brutal honesty and then lighten with witty sarcasm, conjures an experience that is both soothing and hilarious.

NEI is an Icelandic post-punk band with strong coldwave influences, drawing inspiration from Joy Division, Interpol, The Sisters of Mercy, and Baraflokkurinn to name a few. Driving drums and pulsating bass provide the foundation for sharp guitar lines, atmospheric textures, and evocative vocals.

Birgir Jakob Hansen, vocals, synthesizers, programming, Snorri Rafn Hallsson, guitar, Tómas Ævar Ólafsson, bass.

Reminiscent of the crystallised basalt columns commonly found in Iceland, the southern facades create kaleidoscopic reflections of the city and the striking surrounding landscape.\n \n\nHarpa has already welcomed over 850,000 guests and an impressive cast of celebrated musicians and cultural icons to its halls since opening in May 2011.\nPerformers have included British pop sensation Jamie Cullum; German tenor Jonas Kaufmann; world-renowned pianist Maria Joao Pires, violinist and conductor Maxim Vengerov, conductor Gustavo Dudamel and the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. \nIn the coming months, Harpa will present more iconic cultural figures and musicians such as Bjork and Yoko Ono, as part of the Iceland Airwaves annual music festival in October. \nAmong the international conferences that have been held in Harpa since its opening are EUWIN 2011 and EABCT 2011 and among the many  upcoming conferences in Harpa are You Are In Control and Eve Online Fanfest. \n\n"
