Coming off the release of her single “Endir,” Róshildur will take the stage at Mengi tonight at 20:00. In this concert, Róshildur will bid adieu to earlier arrangements of hers as she works on her first full-length.
If you’re looking for some art, we recommend Alda Ægisdóttir’s solo exhibition Sun, Moon and Talía, which runs at Herma until November 23. The artist explores motherhood, depression, and personal experience through installation, sculpture, and video work. Additionally, at hafnar.haus’ gallery space — hafnar.space — a group exhibition titled Hidden Paths runs until November 24. The exhibition, which is curated by the Icelandic Drawing Centre, explores drawing in non-traditional senses. Here, five artists present their works using drawing techniques with unlikely materials.
Tomorrow, at Space Odyssey at 16:00, Néfur celebrates the release of her The Water, The Lover on biovinyl. There will be a listening party for the record, which is an homage to Iceland’s glaciers.
Later, at Mengi, the fifth iteration of PUNCH IN THE MOUTH FROM THE INSIDE takes place. This edition of the “outrageous” series of female and non-binary artists welcomes Laura Ortman (USA), VölVa, and rjstf5737616.
Simultaneously, KUSK & ÓVITI celebrate their album RÍFAST with a concert at Iðnó. Supporting them will be Lite Fun, Amor Vincit Omnia, and DJ Friend (of Inspector Spacetime). If you’re hoping to jump and dance, this is the concert for you.

November 21 — 18:00 — Hafnarhús — Museum admission fees apply
The creatives in hafnar.haus are taking over their neighbours — Hafnarhús — for “Eftir Lokun,” a new series of after-hours events in the museum. Genre-hopping musician Snny and violin-techno duo Geigen will be providing the music, the bar at the museum will be open, and there will be a special offer on a one-year museum pass for 18-28 year olds. This night is kind of like Night At The Museum, but classier — Evening At The Museum. ISH
November 21 — 18:00 — Kabarett (Bankastræti 5)
Out of the ashes of B5 rises Kabarett, a new space billed as a “multi-arts house, bar and restaurant.” For their opening, they’re welcoming Hveragerði’s Taco Vagninn and boast 20 beers and meads on tap. They’ve already got a few events planned: on November 25, they’re hosting a “Nerd Party Night,” and on November 28, they’re putting on “Flirty Filmlesque: A Burlesque Tribute to TV & Film.” If you’re looking for a new spot in town, look no further than Kabarett.
