Ice Music Festival
March 6 - March 9
400A series of outdoor concerts and art installations, combined with a science camp, will take place in Ilulissat from the 6th to the 9th of March 2025. These events will be set against the stunning backdrop of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ilulissat Icefjord, located on the west coast of Greenland.
Ilulissat Icefjord lies 250 km north of the Arctic Circle and features the mighty Sermeq Kujalleq glacier with its massive icebergs. Sermeq Kujalleq is one of the fastest-moving glaciers in the world, contributing to more than 10% of the total mass loss from the Greenland Icecap.
The Greenland Sessions will be hosted on the terrace of the beautifully designed Isfjordscenter in the town of Ilulissat.
Greenland is experiencing the effects of climate change at a faster rate than most of the world. By weaving the magic of Ice Music into the lived experience of the local Avannaata community, the festival will make an important statement about life surrounded by one of Earth’s most precious resources – water.
The Greenland Sessions offer an extraordinary experience immersed in the fragile Arctic beauty.
