The Current enjoyed a fantastic day of live performances and interviews from the Götubarinn pub in Akureyri, the second city of the Iceland Airwaves Music Festival.

Mark Wheat's guests were 200,000 Naglbítar, Ásgeir, Hildur and the five-person group Mammút. Watch the video above to see Mammút perform their spellbinding a cappella song, "Bye Bye," recorded as it was broadcast live to The Current's listeners.
