Dark Music Days
Dark Music Days is a contemporary music festival held annually in Reykjavík, Iceland. Established by the Icelandic Composers Society in 1980, the festival places emphasis on showcasing the Icelandic contemporary music scene – premiering new and often experimental pieces that reflect the ever-growing diversity and creativity of contemporary music. Dark Music Days plays a vital role in the Icelandic music scene, as both an eye-opener for the general public, as well as an incubator for innovation, collaboration and inspiration, within the musical community itself.
Dark Music Days is one of six official Reykjavík City Festivals for 2026-2028.
