Aldrei fór ég suður ( transl. I never went south) is an annual music festival held in Ísafjörður, Iceland, every Easter weekend since 2004. [1] It is the brainchild of Mugison and his father, Guðmundur Kristjánsson, [2] who came up with the idea after playing on a music festival in London in 2003, [3] [4] and is named after Bubbi Morthens song of the same name. [5] Since its establishment, there has never been an entry fee [6] to the festival and the bands do not get paid.
The festival is broadcast nationally live on Rás 2 and RÚV. [7]
In 2020, the festival was only broadcast on TV and on the internet due to the coronavirus pandemic in Iceland. [8] [9]
