Júníus Meyvant

Westman Islands raised and born musician Unnar Gísli Sigurmundsson has been releasing music under the Júníus Meyvant moniker for few years.

In his early twenties Unnar stumbled upon a beat-up guitar at his parents’ house and started noodling around. By playing the guitar he managed to tame his inner beast and his sense for songs and melodies burst like rockets. The uncontrollable urge for writing music and constant flow of ideas kept him tossing and turning every night and day forever and a day.

Júníus Meyvant’s afflicted, concise, melodic and rich take on freaky folk pop has a highly familiar and soulful feel to it and a hint of attitude. Júníus’ wide sound pallet is all embracing and made up with his 
sultry voice, sizzling guitars, pummeling rhythms topped with washes of horns, synths and mellotron. Drawing comparisons to Sam Cooke, Charles Bradley, The Rolling Stones and Devendra Banhart the thirty something musician has a few singles, one EP and one LP under his sleeve.

After successful tours in Europe and the US (including performances at Roskilde Festival in Denmark and Bumbershoot in Seattle) Júníus released his debut full length, Floating Harmonies, in 2016. In the year 2018 Júníus finished the making of his sophomore album, Across the Borders, with musician and engineer Guðmundur Kristinn Jónsson (Erlend Oye, Ásgeir, Hjálmar) in Hljóðriti Studio. In 2022 he released the album Guru, and now he's back with his new single ''When You Touch The Sky''.

Support act: Mukka

Hailing from Reykjavík, Mukka is an Icelandic band that blends lo-fi aesthetics with dreamy, 
psychedelic soundscapes. Known for their hazy mantras, synth-driven melodies, and immersive 
compositions, Mukka crafts music that feels both intimate and expansive. Their sound is an evolving 
journey, seamlessly shifting between ambient textures, sharp melodic structures, and hypnotic 
rhythmic patterns. Since their emergence, Mukka has steadily built a reputation in Iceland’s 
underground music scene, releasing a series of instrumental and experimental works that capture the 
essence of wandering thoughts and introspective moods. Their 2018 release, Study Fun Nr. 1, 
showcased their ability to craft lush, atmospheric soundscapes, making it an ideal soundtrack for latenight drives and meditative moments. In 2024, they continued their sonic exploration with Study More Nr. 4, further solidifying their signature approach to sound design and composition.
