Harpa's not what I was considering a mid-sized venue. It's big and fancy and probably won't let your brand-new band play in front of 100 people. I was thinking more of NASA and the one I can't remember the name of that was on Hverfisgata.
Harpa’s got some halls that size, but I don’t think I’ve seen anything there at less than 5k ISK per ticket. Gaukurinn is still going, with something on the schedule almost every night. The only time I’ve been inside Háskólabíó was as an overflow lecture hall, so I don’t know how well it works for shows.
Never been to a show at Háskólabíó, is it decent?
Is Gaukurinn still going?
