Friends! We’re proud to announce our Vetrarsól Tour anno 2022!

Vetrarsól is an annual tradition that we started in 2008 where we summon the holiday spirit with a spiced mixture of our most wintery songs and traditional nordic hymns; music that goes well with glühwine and Christmas Sweaters.

After two years of streaming Vetrarsól, we look forward to once again embrace December with you and bing some northern lights to your hearts and minds.

/ Daníel, Gunnar & Ragnar.

In the mid zeros three friends met at the University of Iceland, drawn together because of their shared taste of music and passion for vocal harmonies. Several years, countless tours and seven albums later Daniel, Gunnar & Ragnar are more akin to brothers and together they share a special chemistry that is the the bedrock of Árstíðir's unique music.

Always a touring band Árstíðir has traversed the northern hemisphere from Siberia to San Diego and from Svalbard to Zagreb, singing all the way. One such moment got memorialised in 2013 when a friend of the band caught them singing in a train station in Germany in the middle of night. The video quickly went viral and the song – the oldest known nordic hymn – has been a staple on the band's concerts ever since.

Throughout the band's history Árstíðir has had a special relationship with its listeners, and the band's devoted patrons have come through for the band time and time again, helping them to crowdfund more than half of the band's discography. But it is at concerts that this special relationship becomes most evident.

The band bounced back from the pandemic this spring with its “Moments In Time” tour across Europe and with a fresh album under the hood. The albums, Pendúll & Blik, is the band’s first ever album with only Icelandic lyrics and doubles down on everything that their most devoted fans love about their music: the vocal harmonies, the string arrangements and the sound of sung Icelandic.

Vetrarsól is an annual tradition that the band started in 2008 where the members summons the holiday spirit with a mixture of their most wintery numbers and traditional nordic holiday songs. After two years of streaming Vetrarsól, the band looks forward to once again embrace December together with their listeners and bring some northern lights to their hearts and minds.
