Lúðrasveit verkalýðsins (e. translation not available) is an active marching and concert band located in Reykjavík, Iceland. The band was formed the 8th of march 1953 to "support musical education for the labour movement, perform at outdoor meetings, during rallies and at other gatherings of the labour movement" as stated in the bands regulations. During the 50 years that have passed from the bands formation the operations have certainly evolved and changed but the members of Lúðrasveit verkalýðsins have always had the origin and history of the band as their inspiration. For example are there no memberfees and never has there been an admission to concerts, which continues the original intentions of the band to make it available for all who has intrest to be a member or listen to the band perform. Through the years the trade unions in Reykjavík have supported Lúðrasveit verkalýðsins and also the city of Reykjavík which first supported the band in the 60's. Lúðrasveit verkalýðsins is a founding member of SÍL (The Icelandic Association of Marching and Concert Bands) and took part in the first national gathering of the associations bands in 1960. Members of Lúðrasveit verkalýðsins have also been active in the associations board.

Lúðrasveit verkalýðsins has about 60 members at all ages that play regularly at concerts which are traditionally held twice each year and just recently three times with the addition of a special childrens concert in collaboration with the city of Reykjavík and a selected junior marching/concert band. In addition to these concerts the band performs at national holidays, such as Independence Day and May Day. For the last few years, since 2002, Lúðrasveit verkalýðsins has visited seaside villages in Iceland on Seamen's Day, which is a national celebration that honours the many Icelanders who make a living from the ocean. These visits have been very popular with the locals as with the members of the band. Last year (2008-9) Lúðrasveit verkalýðsins entered a collaboration with an icelandic rockband, "200.000 naglbítar". The rockbands 10 most popular and successful songs were arranged for a concert band and the collaboration ended in the release of an album after performing at three sold-out concerts.
