Just when you didn’t think summer could be any more exciting, Iceland’s premier music festival Secret Solstice has gone and announced its final phase of performers and we’re extremely excited.
With less than two months until Secret Solstice celebrates its fifth anniversary, the midnight sun music festival has revealed its phase three lineup for June 21-24, 2018 in the capital city of Reykjavik for what is lining up to be one of the most fun weekends of 2018.
Secret Solstice is the perfect pick for festival and travel enthusiasts. Easily accessible from North American cities with direct flights starting at $150 USD, dancing at Secret Solstice and seeing sights like the Blue Lagoon, "Game of Thrones" filming locations and epic waterfalls in the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’ has never been more accessible.
As if that wasn’t enough, The festival was built around one incredible concept – the fact the sun doesn’t set in the middle of summer in Iceland. Yep, because of some astronomical trickery due to Iceland being so close to the Arctic Circle (don’t worry – you won’t freeze in Summer), the sun never sets over the festival weekend, meaning 96 hours of never-ending daylight.
The image above will give you some idea of the darkest it gets around midnight, as the sun touches the horizon before going back up again.
Head to the official site for more information. We’ll see you in June.
