Iceland Airwaves Music Festival Line-Up Announce: First Wave

Every year, the Iceland Airwaves Music Festival introduces us to incredible new artists -- remember a little group called Of Monsters and Men back in 2010? Now in its 20th year, the festival continues to curate a line-up packed with musical discovery, established faves, and some hometown pride. Today, they've announced the first wave of the line-up, featuring 25 acts from over 10 countries.
