Icelandic fans eagerly await Laufey’s Reykjavík concert: “I love her”

Excitement is building in Iceland ahead of singer-songwriter Laufey’s upcoming concert in Reykjavík, with fans expressing strong enthusiasm for the Icelandic-Chinese artist’s return to her home country.

Laufey, known for her jazz-infused pop and viral hits like From the Start, has gained international acclaim since rising to fame during the pandemic. Her sold-out shows in cities like New York and London have cemented her status as a global artist, but her Reykjavík performance holds special significance for local fans.

“I love her—she’s so talented,” one concertgoer told national broadcaster RÚV. Others praised her ability to blend Icelandic and international influences in her music, calling her a “true ambassador” for the country’s creative scene.

The concert, part of her world tour, is expected to draw a diverse crowd, including longtime supporters and newer listeners who discovered her through streaming platforms. Laufey’s connection to Iceland remains strong despite her global success, with her music often reflecting her upbringing in Reykjavík.

No further details on the setlist or special guests have been announced.
