For the performance, Elín was joined by Sara Mjöll Magnúsdóttir on Hammond organ and Ívar Andri Clausen on guitar, reimagining her songs for the festival’s signature instrument.
Sara had just been named Rising Star at the 2026 Icelandic Music Awards, recognising her work as a Hammond organist, bandleader and composer following the release of her debut album A Place to Bloom.
The trio opened Hammondhátíð’s sold-out Friday night programme on April 24, followed by Skálmöld.
