Saturday Night's All Right for Iceland Airwaves 2010

Nikita has the best afternoon lineup- it's a festival in its own right (Útidúr, Nóra, Reykjavík!,Ham and many others).

Havarí has Amiina at 14:00, if you missed them Friday, this actually might be a better experience.

Hjaltalín (presumably without orchestra) will be at Kaffibarinn at 19:30:



Nasa has a strong line up tonight starting with the fiesty Hellvar at 19:30:



Toggi (20:50 at Risið) is the funniest act at the festival, and also an accomplished singer/songwriter:



Ólafur Arnalds has his showcase performance at Iðno (21:40), it just may be transcendent.

Apparat Organ Quartet (Nasa, 23:00) WILL BE transcendent- don't miss them:



Pop diva Robyn has the top slot at the art museum, so you probably won't be able to get in, you may rather want to catch the eternal/infernal Einar and his electronica group Ghostigital at Tjarnarbió (both at 00:00)



For you night-owls Retro Stefson (Nasa, 0:10) has a youthful vitality that's hard to beat, but UMTBS (Faktory, 02:30!) will give it a hell of a try.

The Reykjavík Grapevine is putting up reviews of selected Airwaves concerts- their usual snarky mix- but there is a lot of info there. They have a slide show as well, but only of a few bands, and no captions.

Aftermath



Ham

Reports coming in early Sunday morning of way too much fun last night in NASA.

Was it good for you, too?

Nasa has FM Belfast headlining tonight, but don't count out Sódóma, who headliner is TBA. In past years this slot has been filled by a surprise act who impressed earlier in the week- who knows who will show up?

LAST MINUTE UPDATE: More parties tonight!

Happy Iceland Airwaves 2010 everyone! Maybe next year I'll actually be able to make it there!
