Nordic Playlist Radio Bar at Iceland Airwaves

The first pan-Nordic music website, the Nordic Playlist, was launched earlier this year and is now heading to Reykjavík as part of the Iceland Airwaves off venue programme to present the first Nordic Playlist Pop Up Radio Bar.

Radio hosts and DJs from all of the Nordic countries, the UK and Germany will gather in Iceland to participate in this three day radio broadcast dedicated to Nordic music.

Over three frosty days, the Nordic Playlist - a celebrated web platform for discovering Nordic music – will turn into an online radio station inviting more than fifteen pioneering radio DJs and journalists to share their love of Nordic music.

The radio will be broadcast live from the Nordic Playlist Radio Bar as part of the Iceland Airwaves off venue programme. Festival guests and music fans are invited to drop by, eat, chill and charge while listening to live radio broadcasts and watching exclusive live performances. Non-festival goers will also be able to listen and watch what’s going on, as the entire event will be streamed online at http://nordicplaylist.com/radiobar

The Nordic Playlist Radio will feature shows from premium DJs such as BBC Radio One’s Huw Stephens, NRK P3′s Christine Dancke and YleX's Juhani Kenttämää and Kaiku Studio's Jonas Verwijen among others. Each host will present specially created shows revolving around the theme of Nordic music.

The three-day programme will also include live performances from outstanding artists from the North. Fans can watch Icelandic Àsgeir, Finnish Jaakko Eino Kalevi and Faroese Byrta live in the Nordic Playlist Radio Bar, located right on the main street of Iceland’s capital Reykjavík in an old shop
