On today’s Hot Happenings we will be previewing the upcoming Hátiðni Arts Festival, which takes place July 5 — 7 in Borðeyri, North Iceland. Originally a brainchild of the Post-dreifing collective, this will be the sixth edition of the independent grassroots music and arts festival that thrives on a Do-It-Together community model and entirely volunteer run.
Artists on the lineup this year include Áslaug Dungal, MC Myasnoi, K.Óla, Snowed In, Diamond Dolls, Skelkur í Bringu, and so many more. The festival also includes a huge visual art facet that highlights works from artists across pretty much every discipline.
With the festival's organising team coming down the wire a week before the event, team member Einar Karl Pétursson joins us in studio to chat about its importance in the grassroots music and arts scene.
