Into the Glacier

Into the Glacier is, as one might expect, a series of parties inside of an actual glacier. Taking place in the second largest glacier in Europe, the one-of-a-kind event is an exclusive party for only 125 lucky guests (tickets here). Into the Glacier will take place for three days and each day will have a different vibe. The party inside the Langjokull glacier will feature two days of DJ sets and one day of an acoustic set.

On Friday, June 16, attendees will get to experience Oslo based producer BAYA. Saturday June 17 fans can see Dusky with Thugfucker hosted by Ministry of Sound DJing the glacier venue. The London-based duo that make up Dusky will play alongside them in the ultimate techno lover’s dream. On June 18, DJ sets will be traded in for a rap and hip hop party sponsored by Tag Heuer. The lucky guests will be able to watch Anderson .Paak and Icelandic Hip Hop artist Blaz Roca.
