Sigur Rós Confirms North American Fall Tour

This fall, Icelandic trio Sigur Rós will head out on a just-confirmed tour of North America. The month-long stretch of intimate theater shows will feature no opening acts and the band performing two sets.

Jón Þór “Jonsi” Birgisson, Georg Hólm and Orri Páll Dýrason will make 17 stops starting on September 19 at Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, British Columbia. The tour will see the band performing without any accompaniment, foregoing the string and brass sections augmenting recent concerts. It will also mark the first time since the tour prior to the release of 2002’s () that the group will perform new material before recording the songs for a new album. Sigur Rós will also offer reinterpretations of songs in their vast catalog and will again team with an Knights Of Illumination Award-winning production team.

Following Vancouver, the tour will make stops in Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, New York City, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Asheville, Kansas City and Phoenix.

A fan presale for tickets begins Tuesday, April 5 with a special “Besta” package being offered that “guarantees one of the very best reserved seats in the house* plus, something unique to this tour: an exclusive, limited edition sigur rós notebook/sketch pad, each of which will be autographed by jonsi, orri and georg.” Head here for more information.
