The Next Generation concert series at LÓA Restaurant

On Thirsday night´s , LÓA Restaurant hosts live shows from Reykjavik’s most promising young bands. It’s an intimate venue with a big heart for new talent—and a key part of the city’s grassroots music scene.

The Next Generation concert series features artists from Center Studios – Reykjavik, a creative hub closely connected to Iceland’s top music schools. There, young musicians—many still in their teens—form bands, write original music, and grow together. It’s a space where they develop their individuality, their sound, and their confidence on stage.

From Björk to Laufey, Iceland’s global music stars often begin in places just like this.
