Jill has been out on a much-deserved vacation, and this has moved Jade from her usual 10 am - 2 pm slot to The Morning Show for the rest of the week! You may have heard that Jade has invited you to The Current's first-ever listeners trip to Iceland for the Iceland Airwaves festival. You can join her for, "a true insider experience at what Rolling Stone calls 'the hippest long weekend on the annual music festival calendar.'" Check out the full lineup here.

Let's celebrate Iceland in the way we do best - with music!
