GLITSKÝ presents Elín Hall & Spacestation at Reeperbahn 2026
Here’s what the Reeperbahn Festival has to say about these two acts:
ELÍN HALL – FRI 18 SEP – ST PAULI KIRCHE – 9:50 PM
A multi-award-winning actress, a charismatic singer with a distinctive sound, and a trailblazer in contemporary alt-pop: Elín Hall is one of Iceland’s most intriguing artists and has been renowned on the Nordic island for her innovative sound for years. Although she has been making music for a long time and is eloquent across a wide range of artistic forms of expression, her breakthrough came with the 2023 album “Heyrist í mér?” for which she was awarded the title “Album of the Year” at the Reykjavík Grapevine Awards.
Since then, with songs such as “Vinir” (2023) and “As The World Falls Down” (2025), she has become an integral part of a new, young Icelandic music scene and is regarded even there as an exceptional talent set to follow in the footsteps of national greats such as Björk and Sigur Rós. Given her innovative stylistic shifts and an apparently inexhaustible artistic versatility, there can be no real doubt about that. After all, with her latest single, “Tachylite” (2026), Elín Hall once again demonstrates that she knows how to set themes of identity and transformation to music with remarkable skill, blending a cinematic atmosphere with vintage production. She is a real insider tip who could soon be reaching a new audience on the European mainland.
Elín Hall’s next single Is She Pretty? is out on October 2nd via AWAL.
SPACESTATION – SAT 19 SEP – INDRA – 7 PM
Ready for liftoff? Spacestation still has a few tickets left for a flight into the unknown. Operating in the frequency spectrum between good old ’60s psychedelia, the forefathers of experimental Krautrock, and the walls of sound from early shoegaze icons, the four guys from Reykjavík have catapulted themselves into an orbit with a panoramic view. Delays and distortions, lucid brilliance, and nostalgic grain lend even their first singles, such as “Hver í fokkanum?” (2023) or “Fokking lagið” (2024), a paradoxical charm that redefines the intensity of noisy effects in a pop context.
In doing so, they naturally follow in the footsteps of bands like Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, or even the Velvet Underground – but the shoe size actually fits to the centimeter. Thus, while the debut album “Reykjavík Syndrome” (2025) pays homage to these inspirations, it still goes a step further and has nothing more than a weary smile for the increasingly commercialized music scene of the Icelandic capital. Spacestation reveal a different, raw reality of their hometown, far removed from the Instagram hype. The sound design complements this approach, turning the band’s concerts into rare spectacles brimming with authenticity and genuine passion.
Spacestation’s sophomore album, Who Killed Spacestation?, is out now via Alda Music.
