About Immersion

Immersion is a global community built around bringing people together through shared experiences, at the intersection of adventure, culture, and human connection.

We gather in places that already hold a certain presence, where music, art, landscape, and people converge in a way that feels both effortless and intentional.

From the Gobi Desert to Raja Ampat, from the Nile to the Amazon, what guides us is simple: the deepest imprint of any experience isn't the place, it's what it opens in you.

The Iceland Chapter
Iceland doesn't really feel
like a backdrop.
It's something you're
constantly aware of.
Raw,sometimes quiet,sometimes intense.

The landscape shifts quickly. Volcanic ground, open horizons, unpredictable weather.
It changes the way you move through the day.

Being there naturally brings a sense of distance from everything else — and that shift becomes part of the experience itself.

For five days and four nights, a remote Nordic settlement becomes a temporary village.

Where music, environment and community exist together, without clear separation.

A temporary world. Built together, then gone.

The Festival
Music & Stages

It begins with the music. Different sounds, different energies, each one intentional.

From minimal and house-driven sets built for larger moments, to slower, more extended journeys on more intimate floors. At times more organic, more atmospheric, occasionally live, and sometimes stripped back to pure listening.

The lineup is shaped through a curatorial lens guided more by intention than trend. Rooted in electronic music and its fluid possibilities, it embraces unpredictability, ephemerality, and the uniqueness of each moment.

Across multiple environments, each space holds a distinct direction — from hypnotic textures to more groove-led rhythms, and more experimental, off-center sounds. Bringing together both emerging voices and headliners we've encountered throughout our journey across the world. Rather than defining a scene, it offers a plural and coherent glimpse into it.

No need to over explain it.
You'll understand once you're there.

Market

Food and gathering naturally come together in a central area within the village. Different food options, both local and international, with space to sit, stay, and spend time.

Woven into the environment, we'll have a market with a curated mix of Icelandic artisans, clothing and objects connected to the journey.

the Viking Village

The festival takes place entirely within the Viking Village, a Nordic settlement originally built as a full-scale set for historical film productions, close to the city of Hofn.

The architecture, the terrain, the scale — it all works together to create a space that feels complete on its own, shaped as much by the environment as by the people in it.

For five days, the village becomes Immersion.

Tickets

Festival tickets grant full access to all stages, experiences and programming across the five days.

Tickets are released in a tiered structure, rewarding early participation:

€950 — Early Bird
€1,050 — Tier 1
€1,150 — Tier 2
€1,250 — Tier 3
€1,350 — Tier 4
€1,450 — Tier 5
€1,600 — Tier 6
€1,800 — Final Tier

With the capacity intentionally limited to around 1,000 guests, access is kept controlled — not to restrict, but to preserve the feeling of being part of something shared.

Accommodation and vehicle passes are sold separately.

Accommodation
RV & Camper Vans

An RV and camper van area sits within the village — offering a more flexible, communal way to stay, with the freedom to arrive on your own terms. Guests will have access to on-site bathrooms and showers within the Viking Village, as well as infrastructure and services.

Glass Domes

For a more private and elevated stay, there are a limited number of glass domes. Fully transparent, they open up to the landscape around you — and if conditions align, to the Northern Lights above.

Hotels & Airbnb

Guests may also stay in a nearby hotel or Airbnb and come into the village each day.

*Accommodation and vehicle passes for RVs and camper vans are handled separately from festival tickets, allowing you to choose what fits best for how you want to be there.
Getting There
Getting there
Iceland is closer than it sounds

Most international flights arrive at Keflavík International Airport (KEF), located about 45 minutes from Reykjavík. The route is well connected, with direct flights from major cities across Europe and North America, including London, Paris, Amsterdam, New York and Toronto.

From there, the journey continues to the east, where the festival takes place near Höfn. Guests can either travel by car (around 6 hours), or take a domestic flight from Reykjavik Domestic Airport to Hornafjörður Airport, followed by a short drive to the village (for those considering RVs or camper vans, rental options are only available from Reykjavík — not from Höfn).

FAQ
What does the ticket include?
Full access to all stages, the Spa Dome by Room Service and festival programming across the five days. Accommodation and vehicle passes are sold separately. Extra activities are sold separately. Food and beverages are not included.
What about vehicle access?
If you're bringing an RV or campervan, a vehicle pass is required and sold separately. It covers access to the on-site vehicle area and includes electrical hookup and infrastructure services provided by the festival.
Will there be bathrooms and showers on site?
Yes. The festival provides bathrooms and shower facilities within the Viking Village.
Do I need to stay on-site?
Not at all. You're free to stay in nearby towns and come to the festival each day.
If I stay in Höfn or another nearby town, how do I get to the festival each day?
We recommend renting a car. Keep in mind that car and RV rentals are extremely limited in Höfn (and anywhere outside of Reykjavík). Plan accordingly when arriving.
When should I arrive and depart?
The festival runs October 1–5. We recommend arriving at least on September 30 to settle in, collect your vehicle, stock up on supplies and get oriented before the festival begins. Gates open at 12pm on October 1, with departure latest by 3pm on October 5, so we recommend planning to leave Iceland on October 6 or later. Feel free to build your own itinerary around the festival — Iceland is best experienced slowly.
Can I bring my own supplies?
Yes, and we recommend planning this carefully. Think of it as an expedition as much as a festival. The experience is built around a sense of independence and self-reliance — you're expected to come prepared. Stock up on everything you plan to consume: drinks, snacks, and any personal provisions. By the time you reach the festival area, options become limited. We also encourage guests to bring their own alcohol supplies. The duty-free at Keflavík Airport on arrival is the most affordable option — prices are significantly lower than anywhere else in Iceland. Reykjavík also has a good range of supermarkets. Höfn, the closest town to the festival, has markets and basic services available as well.
Will there be food and drinks?
Yes. A curated food area and non-alcoholic bar operations will be available throughout the festival. Food and beverages are not included in the ticket.
What kind of music can I expect?
The Immersion lineup is shaped through a curatorial lens guided more by intention than trend. Rooted in electronic music and its fluid possibilities, it embraces unpredictability, ephemerality, and the uniqueness of each moment. Across six distinct yet fluid environments, each space holds a clear artistic direction, from minimal and hypnotic textures to acid-driven energies, groovy rhythms, and more experimental, off-center sounds. The programming moves between these atmospheres with intention, bringing together both emerging voices and headliners we've encountered throughout our journey across the world. Rather than defining a scene, the curation offers a plural and coherent glimpse into it.
Does music play during the day and night?
Yes. Music is present throughout — from daytime sessions and sunset moments to deeper nighttime journeys, allowing the experience to unfold without interruption.
How much should I budget for the trip?
It varies significantly depending on how you choose to travel and who you're coming with. The larger your group, the more you can split costs on vehicles and accommodation — which makes a meaningful difference. As a rough guide, beyond the festival ticket and airplane logistics, travel costs tend to range from around $500 to $2,000+ per person depending on your setup. We recommend booking everything as early as possible to secure the best rates. Our concierge can help you navigate the options.
How cold is it in Iceland in October?
Cold enough to justify a good outfit. Temperatures typically range between 0°C and 7°C, with wind and unpredictable weather. We'll share a full packing guide to make sure you're ready.
Can I come alone?
Yes. Many people do — and rarely stay alone for long.
Will there be extra activities beyond the festival grounds?
Yes. We're curating a selection of optional experiences designed to extend the journey — before, during or after the festival. Led by a local specialist partner, in small groups, at a pace that still feels like Immersion. Booking options and pricing will be announced soon.
Will I see the Northern Lights?
We'd love to say yes. The season is right — but it's up to the sky.
