Solstafir and Vreid streamed a collaborative concert performance viewable below. The “ACROSS” project is a cinematic experience that brings two unique artists together to share their cultural identities and bridge the sea between the two fjords. Spectacular views of the Storehogen Mountain in Vreid’s hometown of Sogndal, Norway and of Hellisheiði in Solstafir’s native Iceland lay the majestic backdrop for a unique 90-minute streaming event.

Solstafir’s Aðalbjörn Tryggvason comments:
“Playing live music in sideways rain on moss grown lava. They wanted something Icelandic. Doesn’t get any more Icelandic than this.”
Vreid’s Jarle Kvåle adds:
“Solstafir’s and Vreid’s stories are two parallel stories of the north. In this weird world, our paths have crossed on several occasions and this time they have merged into something new. This is the third streaming event Vreid has done, and in many ways, it represents the end of a trilogy for us. This time we have recorded the show in a place very special for us, probably the most monumental and iconic place of our beloved home region of Sogn. Join us as we go ‘Into the Mountains.’”
