The festival is arranged at Kikuttoppen in Geilo. All premises are made by the nature, and Hallingskarvet with its 1930 meter is fantastic scenery.The weather is central. The quality of the ice depends on the winter conditions. The sounds vary as the temperature differs. Every consert (concert) is a unique experience. The festival is in the mercy of the nature. The moon decides the time and the weather decides the music.

The IceMusic Festival gathers different artistic expressions which all have a connection to ice. Jewels, photographs, architecture, dance, art, photo, design, sculptures and music. Different expressions are melting together.
a
The IceMusic Festival is supposed to be a scene for highly recommended artists to experiment and develop. A scene to obtain inspiration. The artist, the organizer and the audience may take a risk, and have to relay on the nature. We are all together. Expect the unexpected. The moment is now!
