The annual three-day celebration of music is unique. Sure, music festivals are held on islands and beaches around the world. But G! is something else. Taking over the village of Syðrugøta - population 400 - on the island of Eysturoy, the festival's stages are built on the beach and the football pitch, right under the windows of houses. Locals welcome the visitors, a refreshing contrast to the grudging reception which can greet festival goers elsewhere. G! sounds as though it could be a dream. But it isn't.
However you arrive in the Faroes - by sea, by air. Wherever you stay - the festival's campsite, bed and breakfast, maybe even a hotel in capital Tórshavn. Whether you're a local or not. Whoever you see - from Faroese talent to the overseas' visitors, one thing is certain. By bringing music and this magical place together, G! Festival is unforgettable.
