Hljómahöll has decided to revive the Trúnó concert series, but the concert series has been on hiatus since the pandemic hit.

At a trúno concert in Hjómahöll, visitors get to experience great intimacy with the artists. The concert will take place in Bergi, which can accommodate around 100 guests, but nothing is spared when it comes to sound quality or lighting at the concert. It could even be described as a big concert in a small hall.

The band that plays on the ford should be familiar to the townspeople and all citizens of the country, but it is the great band Valdimar.

The band will perform at two concerts on Wednesday night, August 30 and Thursday night, August 31, during Night of lights, but this will be the first time that the band will perform in the concert series.

At the band's first truno concert, the band will play all the songs from their album Undraland, which was released in 2010. At the band's second concert, the band will cover the album Um sudnar, which was released in 2012.

The house opens at 19:00 and concerts start at 20:00.

Post- war Iceland - a musical journey

  The singer- actress Jana Maria takes the audience through the music and the stories behind the cultural influence of the US Army permanently based in Keflavik from 1951. Accompanied by the pianist Vignir Þór Stefánsson, the program consists of songs made popular by Caterina Valente, Frank Sinatra, Elly and Villi Vilhjálms, Burt Bacharach and others.  

The cultural influence around the base was inherent, bands had to be formed and singers had to be found, to entertain the US Army - which sparked a new era in the Keflavik music scene. 

A warm and intimate evening filled with music & stories. Thursday August 31st 8pm. Tickets at tix.is, ticket price 4300 ISK.

Spoken text between songs will be in Icelandic, but songs both in Icelandic & English. 

In this art workshop, visitors have the opportunity to take part in Gallerý Grind's last art exhibition in the summer of 2023.

Outside the gallery, there are facilities for visitors to create their own works of art, which are then hung in the gallery itself when completed. Materials and tools are on site free for use and there will also be an artist in the area to help.

Along with the art workshop, there will be a bouncy castle and games available for families and guests. There is also a seating area where you can relax and have a cup of coffee or a juice.

Both books will be at a special promotional discount that day.

It is safe to conclude that the houses continue to tell a story as long as they stand, and their memory endures in the photos that have been preserved.

Poetry reading at 17.00 in the center of the library. "Everyone has a story. We all have love and have experienced loves and sorrows, happiness and joy."

Photo exhibition by Þórdís Erla Ágústsdóttir

Too young for cancer? A story about Sóley's struggle

Þórdís Erla photographer and Sóley Björg pilot and flight instructor at Atlanta, originally from Suðurnes, welcome you to the opening of a photography exhibition that has toured Iceland and will be shown for the last time on Ljósanótt! The photo exhibition was created in collaboration between the two of them and the Brakka association.

Sóley Björg Ingibergsdóttir was diagnosed with breast cancer at only 26 years old. Sóleyja thought of checking if she had a BRCA2 mutation that increases the risk of cancer when Icelandic genetic analysis opened up access to that information. She was 25 years old at the time and there was no known cancer risk in Sóleyr's family. Following the BRCA diagnosis, Sóley thought she would start regular check-ups, but was told not to worry and to come back in five years. Almost two years later, Sóley Björg herself finds a lump in her breast and is subsequently diagnosed with breast cancer. She undergoes chemotherapy, a double mastectomy and radiation therapy.

The photo exhibition is held to raise awareness for both the public and those who decide the framework and direction of the healthcare system for people with malignant transformation. This is about a young woman who, according to her intuition, began to seek an examination to see if she had a BRCA mutation in her gene and was subsequently diagnosed with cancer. The aim of the exhibition is to draw attention to the status of genetic carriers. Also to inform and educate and encourage ongoing discussion and research in the field. Last but not least, the goal is to raise awareness of hereditary cancers in Iceland and the importance of genetic testing and knowledge about changes that cause increased risk.

The subject matter of the photo exhibition is dramatic and there is no attempt to avoid it as the intention is to highlight how living with BRCA can transform people's lives. Sóley Björg is a brave young woman who is ready to tell and show her story to raise awareness of this important issue.

Hindsight - Linda Steinþórsdóttir

One common factor of these objects is that in past years they were produced in huge quantities, while today such merchandise is less frequently seen. Many display company or product logos and were given away for free or were sold cheap. They offer an opportunity to walk down memory lane and reflect upon how graphics and logos have changed through time. The oldest objects date to the late 1920s but the most recent are from the last few years or decades.

The Icelandic Museum of Rock' n' Roll (Rokksafn Íslands) is a fascinating family-friendly and interactive exhibition where you can walk through and learn all about the history of popular music in Iceland. 

The museum's format is built around a timeline of the history of Icelandic music, from the 19th-century classics right up to modern-day superstars like Björk, Of Monsters and Men, Sigur Rós, Kaleo, and many more.

You can dive deeper into the rich musical heritage of this land by making use of the free iPad guided tour, which will really add to your enjoyment of Iceland's cultural history, available in five languages.

A brand-new addition to the museum now offers you an incredible interactive tour of the history of your favorite Icelandic artists.

The "Interactive LP Player" allows you to pick up and play an album that tells the story of famous Icelandic artists, including Björk, Sigur Rós, and Of Monsters and Men and scroll your way through their history on an enormous display wall - you're fully in control of the display here. 

As well as that, you can try your hand at singing and playing along with some classic Icelandic hits in the popular “Sound Lab” where electric guitars, an electronic drum kit, and a special karaoke singing booth are waiting for you. You can also have a go at being an audio engineer on a full-sized mixing desk too.

This is a fantastic chance to sing and record your own pop and rock performances on video, to watch and enjoy again and again, or to share on your social media. 

There is also a cinema screen that shows several fascinating films and documentaries about Icelandic music on loops all day, including concert films too.

The gift shop offers books, DVDs, CDs, and LPs on Icelandic music, along with other great souvenirs. 

Here you can sit down, relax for a while and enjoy listening to the best of Icelandic music and have a cup of coffee, or tea, or hot chocolate - whatever you prefer. 

The Icelandic Museum of Rock' n' Roll is for everyone - for those who love Icelandic music and those who want to discover Icelandic Music.  

Children will find the Sound Lab particularly impressive, along with the other interactive parts of the museum.

The museum is located at Hjallavegur 2 in Reykjanesbær. Opening times are from 11am to 6pm daily.

During the festival of Night of lights the Icelandic Museum of Rock 'n' Roll invites you experience the museum for free!
