Vegvísir um íslenska markaðinn
Iceland is a vast but sparsely populated island, with 65% of its 364 000 inhabitants living in the capital region of Reykjavik. As a consequence of such a small population, there is limited ‘music industry’ to speak of in a traditional sense – although Icelandic culture is rife with musicians, many of which have managed to gain international acclaim for over three decades.
Due to the lack of formal music businesses, Iceland’s music community is very DIY-based and artist-led. There are a number of festivals organized year-round around the country, while most key venues are in Reykjavik. Bookings tend to come from the Icelandic promoters and venues speaking directly to artists , rather than from external bookers.
However, the past few years have seen an evolution towards a more business focused and outward-facing music scene, with small companies coming into play, both in management and other fields.
