BRDCST is AB’s outstanding indoor spring festival spotlighting musical boundlessness. The name is a direct reference to the retro futuristic electronica-pop of the English band Broadcast that released inspiring albums like ‘Haha Sound’ and ‘Noise Made By The People’ over the past decade. Artists who feel strongly about musical innovation form the focal point for BRDCST. Our musical gut feeling will do the rest.

You wouldn’t immediately associate them with famous punk poets like Attila The Stockbroker or John Cooper Clarke but, even so, Kælan Mikla forms a successful marriage between poetry and synth punk. What’s more: they are without a doubt the most exciting musical thing to appear in Iceland in recent years.

Kælan Mikla consists of three women with the fantastic names Sólveig Matthildur Kristjánsdóttir, Margrét Rósa Dóru-Harrysdóttir and Laufey Soffía. They write superb – incomprehensible (for us) – Icelandic poetry in which words are coloured by dark beats, moody soundscapes and gruesome cold wave. In ‘16 they released their untitled debut and in ’17 they will become one of the discoveries to be made at BRDCST. Wanna bet?

Admittance is free of charge according to the principle of ‘first come, first served.’
This also applies to those with a Limited BRDCST Festival Pass.
