Music Festival Name:Aldrei fór ég suður
Location:Ísafjörður, Iceland
Years Active:2004–present
Founders:Mugison and Papamug
Dates:Easter weekend

Aldrei fór ég suður is an annual music festival held in Ísafjörður, Iceland, every Easter weekend since 2004.[1] It is the brainchild of Mugison and his father, Guðmundur Kristjánsson,[2] who came up with the idea after playing on a music festival in London in 2003,[3] [4] and is named after Bubbi Morthens song of the same name.[5] Since its establishment, there has never been an entry fee[6] to the festival and the bands do not get paid.

The festival is broadcast nationally live on Rás 2 and RÚV.[7]

In 2020, the festival was only broadcast on TV and on the internet due to the coronavirus pandemic in Iceland.[8] [9]
