Not content with the havoc wreaked in the USA… The remainder of Frankenstorm Sandy decided to pay Reykjavik a visit.

Apart from the occasional rogue flying road sign, damage was limited to the odd broken window, odd bits of rook liftery and a fair few plans changed

Airwaves continues regardless, with a packed off-venue schedule during the day

It seems music fans start young in Reykjavík

Harpa is an imposing sight from the outside when lit up at night

Inside it is an equally impressive building

The venue is split into two levels, with the main concert halls upstairs. A café and small stage are also located downstairs

It is well worth getting to the venue well in advance of the bands you want to see

Me And My Drummer are amongst the first acts on at Harpa tonight.

The venues soon fill to capacity

Ólafur Arnalds managed to draw a large crowd and many struggled to get into the auditorium.

Faces at the front become semi-permanent as people bag the best spots

Only for shedloads of photographers to begin waving cameras about in front of them in the air for the first few songs of each act.

Acts on at Harpa tonight are quite varied, with Apparat Organ Quartet bringing the electronic…

…and For A Minor Reflection bringing the (post) rock.

The floors and sides of venues become makeshift rest spots as the night progresses…

…and many a beverage is consumed.

Towards the end of the evening queues start to build, stretching beyond the entrance to the venue.

Exitmusic seemed to enjoy performing at Airwaves so much, they overran. They promised they’d be back also.

The queueing and excitement of the evening can seem to be too much for some people.
