Additionally, there will be an exciting schedule in Fjósið with, among others, Elinborg, a release concert with Silvurdrongur, Ragnar Finsson, and a film screening earlier in the day.

The festivities already started yesterday in the camping area and in the hot tubs on the beach. So come to Syðrugöta for an unforgettable start to the festival, with excellent music, good company, and the best of Faroese hospitality and festivity.
