Sigur Rós 2024 Tour Announcement – US Tour Schedule
Sigur Rós is finally returning to the US! The Icelandic post-rock band will begin their next trek on September 19th in Detroit, MI, continuing through October 4th in Austin, TX. Wordless Music Orchestra will join them on all dates.
Celebrating their eighth album, Átta, the trio is entering the ultimate art rock revival. Not that the genre ever went away! Sigur Rós, consisting of members Jónsi, Georg Hólm, and Kjartan Sveinsson, caused a stir last year when they released their first album in a decade. And while we’re grateful for the ten years we had to sit on the beauty of 2013’s Kveikur, their return to the music world was long overdue. Needless to say, Sigur Rós didn’t disappoint us in the slightest.
Their music, often described as atmospheric and otherworldly, transcends the typical boundaries of rock music. Classic tracks like “Untitled #8,” “Hoppipolla,” and “Starálfur” invite listeners into a realm of beauty and tranquility, somewhat ike their home of Iceland! Luckily, the sensational soundscapes have only improved on Átta. New singles like “Blóðberg” welcome listeners into an auditory and visual experience that only Sigur Rós can provide, and critics have taken notice.
Clash states that Átta “picks up where Sigur Rós left off, producing works outstanding beauty – slow of pace, yet rich in feeling; deftly experimental yet also daringly melodic.” Meanwhile, NME gave a four-star review, calling the new record “a welcome comeback” and “entirely at odds with the violent, industrial and anti-commercial 2013 predecessor Kveikur.” Change is inevitable after a ten-year musical break, but the Icelandic trio have managed to send shivers down our spine yet again with Átta.
And now, they’re thrilled to play these tracks live for the first time! While a Sigur Rós concert is already known as an exciting and ethereal affair, things will get even more magical alongside Wordless Music Orchestra. Known for bridging the gap between classical music and contemporary genres, Wordless Music provides the perfect complement to Sigur Rós’s expansive sound.
This partnership promises to enhance the band’s already mesmerizing live shows to new heights, offering audiences a rich and unreal experience. Will you be a part of it? Get your tickets to the Sigur Rós tour today.
