For the last two years I have had the pleasure of being a photographer at the Secret Solstice music festival. It began in 2014 on the longest weekend of the year in Iceland, where the sun barely dips below the horizon and the evening light continues until morning. The festival is an eclectic mix of international and Icelandic artists, but there are always one or two BIG names among more up and coming bands. The focus is more on electronic music. The first year we welcomed Massive Attack, one of my favourite bands from the 90s. Last year was The Wailers and Mo from Denmark, and this upcoming year we look forward to hearing the legendary Radiohead grace the stage under the midnight sun!

I was only able to attend one day of the festival in 2015, but I am pleased to show you my favourite shots for the first time.

First up was my good friend Unnar Gísli Sigurmundsson, whose alter ago and band is the fast emerging Júníus Meyvant.

After this performance I decided to wander around the festival site to see what kind of food and sideshows were happening. As well as the usual coffee and sandwiches, there was the option of getting a festival hair cut too...

As I wandered around, watching people climb up a ladder to a precariously placed hot-tub on a tower, I heard a familiar reggae sound drifting into earshot. I realised that this was no mere Bob Marley cover band, but his own band, the Wailers themselves! I had somehow missed this on the programme so was super excited to get down to the photographer's area in front of the stage and snap some shots.

I didn't think it would be possible to even close to beating this performance, but next up was young Danish artist Mø. Mø has the incredible accolade of having the most streamed song of all time on Spotify, the electronic dance collaboration "Lean On" with Major Lazer and DJ Snake. If you don't recognise the name, you will no doubt recognise the song! She certainly was probably the most animated and energetic artist I have ever photographed...
