Iceland in the City - Bands invited to perfrom in Manchester this weekend

Great news just in is that five Icelandic musicians and bands have been invited to perform at the four-day In The City festival in Manchester.

The musicians and bands will perform on International Showcase Night, which has been dedicated to Icelandic music for the first time in the festival’s history, as reported by ruv.is. 1036949400_m_1

The Icelandic night, dubbed Iceland in the City, will take place on the last night of the festival (Tuesday 31st Oct) at The Life Café/ Late Room in Manchester. Admission is free and the show starts at 19:00.

Although the artisits appearing may not be as well known as a certain Ms Bjork, with Icelandair starting their direct flights from Manchester earlier this year, this is the perfect opportunity to let your readers know that the Land of Fire & Ice is a lot 'closer' than they may think if they are in the Manchester area - or even Glasgow, Heathrow or Stanstead areas.

Discover the World offer a whole host of great holidays to Iceland, whether for music minds to get their musical fill in the numerous cafe's and bars in reykljavik, or for families looking for a really unique holiday together.

Whatever holiday your readers might prefer, our 3-night winter Reykjavik City Break starts from £279 including flights & accomodation and remains the perfect way to experience the famous city and it's geothermal surroundings.

Geysers, Waterfalls, Glaciers, not to mention superjeeps and snowmobiling make this a real adventure-packed destination whilst the more sedate amongst us can relax in the warm cobalt blue, healing waters of the blue lagoon.
