Icelandic artist Elín Hall took the stage last night as part of Europe’s Biggest Gig, a massive cross-border music event hosted by five national radio stations, including BBC Radio 1 in the UK.

The event, which aired on Tuesday, February 25, was a collaboration between Iceland’s Rás 2, the UK’s BBC Radio 1, Ireland’s RTÉ 2FM, Belgium’s Studio Brussel, and Germany’s 1LIVE. For 2.5 hours, audiences across Europe tuned in to hear some of the best emerging talents from each participating country.

Elín Hall joined an impressive lineup, including:
🎵 Nia Smith (UK, BBC Radio 1)
🎵 Orla Gartland (Ireland, RTÉ 2FM)
🎵 Sylvie Kreusch (Belgium, Studio Brussel)
🎵 Berq (Germany, 1LIVE)

Closing out the show, Elín delivered a stunning performance, representing Iceland’s vibrant music scene on an international stage. In addition to her live set, Rás 2 also played some hits from four other Icelandic artists—"Let’s Consume" by Superserious, "Háspenna" by GDRN, "Gráta Smá" by Supersport!, and an unreleased song called „Blood on my Lips“ by Bríet—throughout the broadcast.
