Warm Inside
Posted 26th Feb 2026.
Rest assured, sound will be available inside for a comfortable listening experience. These options will be available for all performances this year.
The stage construction has also been adapted because of the lack of snow this winter. Many locals can’t remember such a ‘snow-free’ January and February!
However, the low temperatures mean we can use an ice wall freezing technique.
We have a brilliant team this year, comprising Greenlandic, Norwegian, German, Danish and UK nationals, plus Ilulissat’s Handball team! The Icefjord Centre is not only providing an amazing location but also being brilliant hosts. A special thank you to Mari and Malu and their kitchen crew for the scrumptious food!
This year’s festival is experiencing low temperatures. For the most accurate weather readings, please visit ASIAQ’s weather page vejr.asiaq.gl/#/map.
The amazing Sissel Vera Pettersen, a versatile artist who combines creative vocal techniques with live electronic processing, will be accompanied by a special local guest singer from Ilulissat: Paninnguaq Jensen, who will be throat singing and performing Greenlandic lullabies.
We are also excited that Kalaallit Nunaat national star Miké Thomsen will be performing with both ice guitar and ice percussion!
There will be family & science workshops, along with an ambitious connection to a live audio stream from a glacier and the breathtaking Disko Bay in Greenland in a performance called The Wisdom of Animals - Let the Nature Talk. Check out the Disko Bay page for a list of the mammals we hope to hear.
