Back To The Beginning Streaming
July 5 at 14:00 — LEMMY — Free (but you should buy some beer or food!)
LEMMY has purchased the stream to “Back To The Beginning,” the final show of legend Ozzy Osbourne, which will be taking place earlier that day in Birmingham, U.K. This concert is packed to the brim with rockstars — there will be sets from Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, and much, much more. ISH
Opens July 5 at 17:00 — Þula (The Marshall House) — Free
Acclaimed photographer Anna Maggý has exhibited in Iceland, abroad, and in Þula before. Yet the photographer deviates from her usual, using analogue photography as opposed to digital. Further, Anna Maggý captures unplanned subjects to create a work that is less curated and more spontaneous. Letting the analogue photography process develop organically, some works even embrace “destruction.” ISH
July 5 at 14:00 — Laugavegur 27 — Depends on how much you eat
The Long Table is back, baby! The yearly collaboration between neighbours Vínstúkan Tíu Sopar, Public House & Súmac results in a delicious and widespread feast. Súmac and Public House will be manning the barbecue, while Vínstúkan serves up some wine. If you’re looking for a delicious Saturday dinner, this is the place to be. ISH
July 5 at 20:30 — RVK Brewery Tónabíó — Free
For the last concert in the Herðum haus series, Tónabíó presents rock/late-punk band NEI. Interested in what they stand for? Here’s their manifesto: “NEI is cold. NEI doesn’t care. NEI wants to be cold. NEI doesn’t want to be cold. NEI wants to go faster. NEI wants to be more. Sometimes. NEI is cold. Blows. Blows. Beats too slowly. NEI doesn’t care. Never.” Convinced? Check them out. ISH
