Northern Rising
Northern Rising - Iceland Music On The Verge, is a podcast mini-series recorded during Iceland Airwaves.
It offers a glimpse into the chaotic and colourful experiences of Iceland’s most exciting new artists.
Hosted by podcast, radio, and Iceland Airwaves veteran Tim Pogo—who’s been covering the festival since 2000 and can help you find your way around Reykjavík (but not pronounce anything)— the series follows a selection of fast-rising acts throughout the festival, and a few of Reykjavik’s must-visit haunts.
Northern Rising is produced by Iceland Music, Record in Iceland, and Tim Pogo in collaboration with The Reykjavík Grapevine.
