Salsaball með Barrio 27 (Live Salsa Night + Beginner Lesson)

About this event

Barrio 27 brings a hot salsa night to Reykjavík on Friday, August 14, 2026, with live music and a welcoming social-dance vibe.

The evening kicks off with a short beginner salsa lesson at 20:30, designed so newcomers can jump in with confidence. After the lesson, Barrio 27 takes the stage at 21:00 and keeps the dance floor moving with live salsa rhythms until midnight. The band is a 16-piece salsa group founded in 2024 by percussionist Alexandra Rós Norðkvist, known for high-energy performances and a dance-friendly program.

This is billed as Barrio 27’s first full salsa dance night, and it is set in Sjálfstæðissalurinn by Austurvöllur (the former NASA venue). Tickets are listed from 4,900 ISK.

Everyone is encouraged to come as they are—bring friends, bring a partner, or arrive solo and meet the community on the dance floor.
