Jólagestir – A New Chapter Begins Last year, we said goodbye to “Jólagestir Björgvins,” and now we continue under the name “Jólagestir.” The founder, Björgvin Halldórsson, is still with us — this time in a new role, as our guest of honour.

The all-star team of Icelandic music joins forces with international stars for the most spectacular musical celebration of the year — December 21st at Laugardalshöll.

SINGERS – Sissel – Eivør – Högni – Svala – Gissur Páll

SPECIAL GUESTS Remember Monday took Eurovision by storm with their stunning harmonies and powerful stage presence. These three phenomenal voices from the UK are now coming to Iceland for the first time, bringing their unique brand of festive joy.

Esther Abrami has become one of the freshest and most captivating voices in classical music today. With millions of views on social media and music that blends aesthetics and emotion, she’s drawing a new generation into the world of violin. At Jólagestir 2025, she will perform in Iceland for the first time—bringing both magic and mastery to the stage.
