We've been invited to cover Iceland Airwaves again this year, and I must say that it's an amazing collection of cutting-edge music.

You can still purchase a Iceland Airwaves pass online, but they're buried on Iceland Air's tour package add-ons site. So, here are the steps you need to take:

1. Go the Icelandic Air Tours site.


2. Choose the Currency USD/CAD option.


3. Select REK as your destination.


4. Select your travel period (start with the day of your arrival, or 13-Oct-08 through 20-Oct-08 will work).


5. Click on tours, dinners and passes. (the button actually says "browse add-ons" under that heading)


6. Click on Promotion

The Iceland Airwaves pass will then appear for purchase. The current price is $155 per person, and the pass gets you into everything for 5 days.

The final Airwaves lineup has been announced, including recent additions: The Fuck Buttons, The Mae Shi from California and Icelandic artists such as Cocktail Vomit, Sykur, experimental electro-jazz outfit Audio Improvement, <3 Svanhvít and pop rocker Ske. See the full Iceland Airwaves 2008 lineup.
