DiS is very excited to have teamed up with Iceland Music Export (icelandmusic.is) to bring you a competition that we think is pretty amazing.

On June 28, a very special outdoor concert is taking place in Reykjavík, to raise awareness of environmental issues in Iceland. Playing beneath the midnight sun will be the tiny island's biggest stars: Björk, Sigur Rós, and Ólöf Arnalds.

The winner will also visit famous and historical Icelandic studios Greenhouse (Björk's Medúlla) and Sundlaugin (Sigur Rós).

For your chance to win flights (departing Thursday June 26 and returning Monday June 30) and tickets for you and a friend, to this once-in-a-lifetime gig, simply sign-up to the Iceland Music mailing list at icelandmusic.is/contest/.

For anyone not feeling lucky but still wishing to come to the show, packages are available from icelandair.co.uk.

Winners will be picked at random and the competition closes on Friday June 20.

Ironic though...

...that this free concert to raise environmental airlines has been exploited by the airlines, no?

Still, shaping up to be an ace day of music. Ghostigital are also on the bill and the rumours were rife that Radiohead were the mystery foreign band. This looks to be untrue though.

FM Belfast too, apparently. Woooop!

...

That would entail that Radiohead would have to travel from Iceland to Manchester in the space of a day! It takes four days to get from Iceland to Manchester!

Oh poo

I was really excited when I saw this, and would dearly love to see Sigur Ros, and loved Bjork when she was a sugarcube, and have always wanted to check out Iceland

But it clashes with My Bloody Valentine.

Sigh

Whowever wins, you are a lucky soul ( as is your plus one) and I hope you have a blast ; ) x x x
