PHOTOS: What People Waiting In Lines Have To Say About Iceland Airwaves

Some say the lines at festivals are the most fun part of the experience. We chatted with festival-goers as they patiently waited in lines or anticipated their next gig. Here’s what they had to say.

Visitors from the USA: “We come here a lot. It’s the fact that it’s music from all over. We saw slowshift, and right after, we saw JJ Paulo — this kind of juxtaposition is hard to find anywhere else.”

Visitors from Sweden and the UK: “There’s not a lot of festivals in November.”

A local: “I was working, I couldn’t come earlier. I’m here for Bombay Bicycle Club.”

A group of friends from Berlin: “First time in Iceland and Airwaves. This her birthday present. We’re here for this [Bombay Bicycle Club] and Rock Paper Sisters.”

Locals (kind of): “Last year was fine, but this year is amazing! There was no big name we were looking forward to, but that’s what we like about it.”

Visitors from Canada: “I came here cause my friend said I should come.”
