Adventurous festies listen up! Reykjavik, Iceland's Secret Solstice Festival is back for its third year with 2016 dates and a fresh lineup set to dominate the height of this surreal country's summer.

From June 17 - 19, 2016, during 72 hours of constant sunlight and amidst dreamy landscapes dotted with glaciers and volcanic springs (see the 2015 official aftermovie above for proof), Secret Solstice will serve up music from the likes of Of Monsters And Men, Kerri Chandler, Deetron, Högni Egilsson, Amabadama, Lady Leshurr, Benoit & Sergio, Maxxi Soundsystem, Droog, and many more – this is just the first wave of artists announced. Hundreds of other talented musical wizards are to come.

And what's a festival in Iceland without an IceRave? Secret Solstice Festival will once again throw some of the most innovative and forward thinking parties imaginable, including the return of the year's standout party, dubbed “the world’s first party inside a glacier.” It wil take over Langjökull (Europe’s second largest glacier) for a series of super exclusive shows, giving festival-goers the chance to party inside a mile-long tunnel carved from ice thousands of years old!

Other parties include the likes of “Midnight Sun,” where guests will head out into the Atlantic Ocean aboard a boat to continue partying well after midnight, enjoying eclectic DJ sets in a volcano-powered geothermal pool. Stay tuned for more events like these, due to be announced in the coming months.

A limited number of early bird tickets fro $126 USD are now available. Grab some here before they sell out!
