It's called Melodica, a small acoustic music festival, and I'm friends with the folks who run it... I actually helped out with the organizing a bit last time I was in Iceland, but had to leave before the festival itself happened, so I've been dreaming about going back for it again!
I think I really probably will camp - I still have my tent & camping gear from last time I was in Iceland! The course is in Ísafjörður, which of course is tiny tiny, but every Icelandic village I've ever been to had a little campground somewhere downtown, so, hopefully this'll be the same.
And oh, yes, believe me, I'm the very opposite of patriotic, and I care zero about football... But in Germany you're so surrounded by it, I felt like I had to either spend the next weeks being annoyed about it, or pick a team to be mildly excited about! Iceland is at that lucky confluence of being a place I like a whole lot, and also not such a superpowered team that it's practically boring to root for them, like Germany... I really want Iceland to make it into the next round, so I can have something to be excited about for a little longer!
