The Mosfellsbær blues band Kaleo is set to play a concert in Þingvellir National Park next summer. The Þingvellir Committee and Kaleo’s representatives signed a contract allowing for a 20.000 guest capacity for the band’s show on June 20, RÚV reports. 

An unofficial declaration of will was signed by the parties on October 22, but the Comittee did not take an official stance towards the concert until a detailed report and scheduled were produced. 

This is Kaleo’s second foray of hosting open-air, stadium-like concerts. In 2025, the band performed at Vaglaskógur in North Iceland, with about 10.000 attendees. 

Kaleo debuted in 2012 with their cover of the Icelandic pop song “Vor í Vaglaskógi”. In 2013, they released their eponymous debut album and pursued the American music market to considerable success.
