The music festival HEIMA celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. Fourteen artists will take to the stage in the heart of Hafnarfjörður and at home with some of the towns inhabitants. There have never been as many artists performing, the last day of winter 2024 is therefore expected to be quite lively in Hafnarfjörður.
The music festival HEIMA celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. Fourteen artists will take to the stage in the heart of Hafnarfjörður and at home with some of the towns inhabitants. There have never been as many artists performing, the last day of winter 2024 is therefore expected to be quite lively in Hafnarfjörður. This year’s special festival guest is Døgg Nónsgjógv, which originates from HOYMA in Gøta in the Faroe Islands. The organisers of the festival have tried to carry on the tradition of having at least one performer from the Faroe Islands each year.

The HEIMA festival has firmly established itself as a fun and special music festival, offering a more unique and intimate experience than concertgoers and artists are generally accustomed to. The people of Hafnafjörður open their homes in the centre of Hafnarfjörður and in each home, from 19:30-23, two different artists or bands play. Fríkirkjan, church, in Hafnarfjörður is one of HEIMA´s homes and has been for many years. The festival also uses the stage in Bæjarbíó, theatre, which reflects the diversity of the festival – all kinds of houses/homes and all kinds of music. This is where guests of the festival, who want even more culture and joy, gather towards the end of the festival.
HOME 2024 will be set in Ægir 220 at 7 p.m. (19:00) with live music and festival bracelets will be handed out on the day of the festival, Wednesday, April the 24th, from 4 p.m. (16:00). The first HEIMA concert starts at 19:30 in Fríkirkjan, church, and the last one ends around 23:30. The final acts in Bæjarbíó are two this time, where the program starts at 23:15 and lasts for around an hour. HEIMA is a music festival that offers unique intimacy between performers and guests as well as diverse music for all kinds of people of all ages. This year’s line up of artists are: Rebekka Blöndal, Klara Elias, Døgg Nónsgjógv, Margrét Eir, Brek, GDRN and Magnús Jóhann, Hipsumhaps and Emmsjé Gauti.
