Every Friday night, 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. Tonight’s band: 5K An eight-piece girl band—with one brave guy on drums. The group is fronted by three standout vocalists with impressive experience from major theatre productions, stage shows, and song competitions across Iceland. Their set includes original songs alongside soulful covers of Norah Jones, Bee Gees, and Billy Joel—a mix of fresh talent and timeless classics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odXTnX2ABsc
