Iceland Airwaves Completes 2026 Lineup With Cobrah, Alien Chicks, Leith Ross

Iceland Airwaves has completed its 2026 lineup, adding Cobrah, Alien Chicks, and Leith Ross in the final wave. The Reykjavík festival also confirmed a special event: The Streets will perform A Grand Don’t Come For Free in full.

The full-album set gives the programme a distinct anchor. Rather than a standard festival slot, Mike Skinner’s project will present the 2004 record from start to finish, a format that shifts how the material works outside its original context.

Among the final artist announcements, Cobrah brings a more electronic pop register, Alien Chicks add a sharper rock edge, and Leith Ross contributes a quieter, songwriting-led presence. The mix keeps the bill varied without flattening it into a single sound.

With the line-up now finalised, Iceland Airwaves heads toward its 2026 edition with a programme built around club acts, guitar music, and the occasional full-length performance. The closing wave continues the festival’s long use of Reykjavík’s compact venue network to push emerging names and left-field bookings.

The Streets’ album set remains the most focused booking in the final announcement. It turns a familiar record into an event, while the remaining additions keep the undercard varied and geographically broad.
