You know that meme that’s like “If there’s no girls, goths, or gays, I’m not going”? If you giggled and double-tapped it, Norðanpaunk is the festival for you. Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, Norðanpaunk (“northern punk”) is a countryside celebration of dark, extreme, underground and weird music. Taking place every year during Verslunarmannahelgi (Merchant's Day Weekend) in the quiet hamlet of Laugarbakki, North Iceland, it is a whole reunion for freaks and their families.
Based on the ethos of DIY, punk, harm reduction and anti-oppression, the volunteer-run non-profit festival has flourished into a cult favourite for locals and internationals alike. Joining us today are organising team members Sólrún Sif Siguðardóttir and Ægir Freyr Birgisson who share with us what makes the festival so special and what keeps it going strong.
