  • Das jährlich stattfindende G! Festival am Strand von Syðrugøta, Färöer ist neben dem Summarfestivalur das größte Open-Air-Musikfestival des Landes. Der Name G! leitet sich nicht von der Kommune Gøta ab, sondern von einem SMS-Code, der unter den Mitgliedern der früheren Band üblich war. Initiator ist der ehemalige Clickhaze-Musiker Jón Tyril, der heute als Musikdirektor und Pressesprecher des Festivals fungiert. Das G! Festival erhielt 2005 in Person von Jón Tyril den Mentanarvirðisløn M. A. Jacobsens (nationaler Kulturpreis). (de)
