Music events Faroe Islands

In the heart of Klaksvík, the Summar Festival takes place at the beginning of August, considered to be the major musical event on the Faroe Islands. Particularly family-friendly, it features an area entirely dedicated to children. In a festive atmosphere, headliners and international artists rub shoulders with local choirs singing their traditional songs.

Country and blues fans won't be disappointed. The picturesque village of Sørvágur hosts the annual Country & Blues Festival. Here, line dancing takes place between hay bales and beachside barbecues. International and local musicians share the bill to the delight of participants. For more information: www.country.fo.

This is THE Faroese festival. It attracts well-known Scandinavian artists as well as international headliners. It's also the ideal place to discover a wide range of emerging and established Faroese artists such as Eivør Pálsdóttir. The festival takes place over three days in the picturesque village of Gøta on the island of Eysturoy. What makes it special is that it's right on the water. From the beach... or one of the many bubble baths, you can attend concerts of all kinds (pop, gospel, rap, metal, electro...).
