VÆB (pron.: VIBE) are the brothers Matthias David Matthiasson (20) and Halfdan Helgi Matthiasson (21). In 2022, the brothers formed the band VAEB after posting a video on TikTok with a "joke-song" that attracted so much attention on social media that they decided to release it on Spotify.

The brothers participated in the Söngvakeppnin (Icelandic pre-selection for Eurovision) last year with the song Bíómynd (A Movie) and finished in 4th place. They were a hit in the competition and became nationally famous overnight and held many concerts around the country as a result.

They then decided to try again at the Söngvakeppnin this year and won the competition by a landslide, both in the public and jury vote, with the song RÓA (ROW). The brothers have said that the song is about moving forward in life. No matter what is going on in the turbulent sea of life, you have to keep rowing and never give up. The song RÓA reached the finals of this year's Eurovision Song Contest and has been a big hit. It has now been played over 17 million times on Spotify.

Exchange has a small ramp entrance from the street. Our bar and main event space are on the ground floor with level access throughout and we have an accessible toilet. If you need any other info on accessibility, please contact [email protected]
