Private Icelandic Punk History Experience
Journey back in time to a Reykjavík that was neither hip nor happening, and discover how the arrival of punk changed Icelandic culture forever. Explore forgotten sites and hidden history while hearing stories of legendary concerts and the sheer lengths early punks went to to build a booming subculture on an arctic island that was—at the time—truly isolated from the rest of the world. You may even hear exclusive anecdotes from Björk herself that have never appeared in print.
The tour is led by Unnur Máney, a historian who has spent 20 years researching the early Icelandic punk scene and who founded the country’s first all-female punk band. If time allows, she is always happy to sit down after the tour to discuss the legacy of Icelandic punk further.
We end at the legendary Punk Museum where you explore the history in photos and pose with some actual instruments used by the punk generation in Iceland.
