Iceland Eclipse Festival 2026

Set in the mystic Icelandic nature of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Iceland Eclipse Festival invites you to Dance, Learn, Connect, and Explore in the wake of the highly anticipated total solar eclipse 2026, with a program spanning music, art, space, tech, and wellness. 

Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Iceland - Iceland Eclipse announces its next phase of programming for 12-15 August 2026, with festival passes and accommodations back on sale. Framed by Hellissandur’s glaciers, craters, beaches, and waterfalls, and capped at 3,333 guests, Iceland Eclipse creates an immersive, close-knit setting for discovery and connection around Iceland’s last total eclipse until 2196 - uniting music, art, science, space, and technology through a program of performances, talks, Side Quests, and excursions, and interactive experiences. 

Iceland Eclipse unfolds through four pillars: DANCE brings together international artists and Icelandic talent, from main stage moments to intimate firelit sets; LEARN convenes scientists, futurists, and cultural thinkers to explore frontiers spanning space, AI, consciousness, and ancestral knowledge; CONNECT, in partnership with Cosmic Pineapple, offers yoga, meditation, breathwork, mythology, ceremony, and sound healing; and EXPLORE, co-created with ReWilding Iceland, immerses guests in the landscapes of Snæfellsnes through expeditions, sauna rituals, cold plunges, and nature-based practices. 

In response to a wealth of submissions and direct outreach from artists, speakers, and creators eager to participate in the full Iceland Eclipse experience, the festival reveals a new set of notable additions shaped directly by its community of seekers, reflecting the growing desire among participants to contribute to the program in a more meaningful way, beyond merely attending the gig or performance itself. DANCE program additions include Captain Hook, CloZee, Ida Engberg, Kenny Dope, Nick Warren, joining the previously announced likes of Imogen Heap, Reggie Watts, Booka Shade (Live), Arc De Soleil, Ash Lauryn, Ryan Crosson, Daði Freyr, Emiliana Torrini, MEDUZA³, Nightmares on Wax, and more. New LEARN additions include Ben Nowack, Gunnar Ólafsson, Emily Bilbao, Jason Achilles Mezilis, Mörður Moli Gunnarsson Ottesen, Ruth Daniel, Samantha Tauber, Steven Blumenfeld (Burning Man), and Tony Cho.
