Bonde do Role are a brave, brave bunch. Not that the bands that make up the rest of the lineup for this October's Iceland Airwaves festival aren't brimming over with gumption, but going from their steamy homeland of Brazil to chilly Reykjavik takes a special kind of dedication. And a special kind of parka. A big one.

Bonde will join a bundle of their bundled-up brethren for the Iceland Airwaves festival October 17-21 all over downtown Reykjavik. Bloc Party, Grizzly Bear, Of Montreal (expect Mr. Barnes in specially designed fur-line assless chaps for the occasion), !!!, Deerhoof, Trentemøller, Annuals, Buck 65, Loney Dear, Ra Ra Riot, Jenny Wilson, Best Fwends, Chromeo, Late of the Pier, Lali Puna, Heavy Trash, Ms. John Soda, the Duke Spirit, Prinzhorn Dance School, Smoosh, the Teenagers, and many, many, more will don their duckfeathers and head into the streets for the five-day fest.

Natives Amiina, Múm, Benni Hemm Hemm, GusGus, and Ghostigital join a massive list of Icelandic natives walking around in t-shirts and looking smug. The full lineup-- still not complete just yet-- and venue information is available at the festival's website.

Not quite ready to make the trek to Reykjavik? Drop a few ice cubes in the tub and fire up the iTunes, as the festival (and the Icelandic Music Export label) will offer an accompanying compilation of Icelandic artists-- including múm, Ghostigital, Benni Hemm Hemm, Seabear, Bang Gang and others-- for download in late September. The tracklist for the collection is available after the jump.
