A sister city celebration: Reykjavik comes to Seattle for free show
Published 8:29 am Thursday, October 13, 2011
On October 28th Reykjavik and Seattle will celebrate their 25th anniversary as sister cities with a free 21+ concert at Neumos. This is the second straight year that Reykjavik Calling is coming to Seattle and this year the artists from Iceland are teaming up with artists from Seattle for the Sister City Showcase.
Until recently I was not familiar with the artists from the North. However, I am very familiar with all of the Seattle artists who will be join them on stage and I think this is going to be a pretty special show. The doors open at 8:00 p.m. but free shows fill up fast in Seattle so you might want to get there a little early.
Below is a list of the artists representing each region and if you want to know more you can click here or listen to 90.3 KEXP as they broadcast live from Iceland this week.
