 Sjyrock Festival
 
Lofoten Viking AS is proud to be the major sponsor for the Sjyrock Music Festival, held annually on our beautiful island of Værøy.
 
Sjyrock means "ocean spray (or mist)" in English. The Festival is one of the most remote and exotic music festivals held in the world - it's site is an absolutely stunning location on the old Værøy airport - right beside the ocean, against towering granite cliffs.

The Festival is held  each year from 8th to 10th of July,  in the height of the northern summer - at the time when the Midnight Sun is shining all night.
