Music shopping in Reykjavík

  1. A

    12 Tónar

    A very cool place to hang out is 12 Tónar, responsible for launching some of Iceland’s favourite new bands. In the three-floor shop you can listen to CDs, drink coffee and maybe catch a live performance on Friday afternoons.

    Smekkleysa Plötubúð

    Bad Taste records is the label that launched The Sugarcubes, and they’re still producing new music. Their shop has moved around a lot in recent years, and had just reopened on Laugavegur at the time of research.
