Sigur Rós on Tour

In 2022, Sigur Rós announced the opening dates of their first world tour in five years and hinted at the new album they've been silently working on in the studio -- the first of their albums to be released since 2013's Kveikur. The forthcoming record was quickly hailed as one of the most anticipated releases of the year, with an international community of fans always eager to hear what the experimental ensemble comes up with next. They say good things come to those who wait. And nearly a decade since their last album dropped, Sigur Rós is sure to deliver a live show that exceeds all expectations, airing never-before-heard songs alongside material drawn from their acclaimed 25-year discography. Wherever they play, the Reykjavík, Iceland, natives transcend language through their music. They make songs for which there are no words but rather an evocation of deep feeling, inspiration and delight. Wherever you catch Sigur Rós on tour -- Australia, Mexico, the United States, or anywhere else -- it makes no difference what language you speak or whether you can understand Jónsi's melodic, Icelandic lyrics. In fact, all the songs off their Grammy-nominated 2002 album ( ) were sung in a made-up language, leaving listeners to interpret their own meaning of the title-less songs that they could then transcribe in the blank pages of the album booklet. To appreciate all their music achieves, watch Sigur Rós in concert and experience artistry unlike any other. 

Sigur Rós Live in Concert

Sigur Rós is an experimental post-rock band from Iceland with six No. 1 albums and three platinum records to their name. The trio -- comprised of frontman Jón Þór "Jónsi" Birgisson, bassist Georg Hólm, and keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson -- has remained at the forefront of the international music scene since the band's 1994 conception. Sigur Rós became one of the most celebrated alternative groups throughout the years, praised for consistently breaking ground with their ethereal and orchestral production. It's this atmospheric sound that Sigur Rós is best known for, along with Jónsi's siren-like falsettos that resonate with a celestial lullaby. The progressive outfit's 1999 breakout album, Ágætis Byrjun, received the inaugural Shortlist Music Award, a prestigious prize created to recognize independent releases. They went on to produce a prodigious volume of work, releasing a total of 10 albums and 12 EPs within a span of 20 years. Their No. 1 chart-topper "Glósóli" and signature track "Hoppípolla" appeared in the 2005 film Takk, winning a trio of Icelandic Music Awards. Sigur Rós has also won three MTV Europe Music Awards and in 2004 received their first Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album for ( ).

    exceded all my expectations!

    by HJLorusso on 8/1/12Skyline Stage at The Mann - Philadelphia

    This was the best concert I have ever seen. The music was fantastic, even better than the recordings. However the thing that made it so great was that every aspect of the show, sound, lights, overall performance was stelar. The lights and effects on the screens meshed with the music perfectly. It was like walking into a dream. Almost everyone there was so blown away that we stood for the entirety of the two hour concert even though we brought blankets and stuff to sit on. Brilliant job. I would recommend this concert for sure!

    Sigur Ros/Perfume Genius Monday, July 30th, 2012

    This show was absolutely incredible. We were able to sit back on our blanket and fully take in the beauty of the music that this band so perfectly orchestrates. It was worth every second of the 26 hours we spent in our vehicle, to and from Philly.

    sigur ros was an amazing concert experience. was excited to learn it was their first show in four years. the only thing that could have made it better was if it was in the actual amphitheatre. i believe that was a huge lost opportunity. i was not impressed by the brand new skyline stage. I hope there will be a more permanent facility there sometime if they want to continue having a secondary stage.

    An Unforgettable Experiance!!!

    by MaddHoagie on 7/31/12Skyline Stage at The Mann - Philadelphia

    The opening band was fairly decent, hey had a large amount of short songs, very pretty and set the stage well for an even better performance. It is the first time Sigur Ros has played in Philly for us and i must say id love to see them again if they decided to come back. The audio quality was wonderful, the stage visuals were beautiful as well. Everyone around me was having just as good of a time that I was! I highly recommend everyone see this band live! Everyone did a great job and I can't wait for there next tour. Lets hope they come to us again next year? :D

    Sigur Ros - the most inspiring and beautiful band

    by Boegy on 7/31/12Skyline Stage at The Mann - Philadelphia

    Incredible show. Every second of every song gave me goosebumps. The show was outside during the summer. With the skyline of Philly in the background and a comfortable clear summer night, the only thing that could make it better was seeing Sigur Ros. The band didn't dissapoint. The show was arguably the best I've ever seen and the emotion was totally engrossing. Their music, Jonsi's voice, the whole ensemble; spectacular. A must see band whenever they play.

    Do You Own the Albums? Stay at Home.

    by NewoIkkin on 7/31/12Skyline Stage at The Mann - Philadelphia

    The music was exactly what I expected from these legends. Absolutely phenomenal! The movement and crowd interaction left something to be desired. I have to say, I was really expecting more on their part. As soon as the band began to play the crowd began to shush each other. I understand we'd all like to hear the beautiful music, but I'd also like to react to it. I've had much more fun in my living room, dancing and listening to their albums than I did seeing them live. I wasn't expecting the epic display from the MoMa, but some swaying or emoting would have been nice. I honestly didn't expect to leave feeling so stifled. After all, I've always felt liberated by Sigur Rós' music. Honestly, I feel like I should have saved my money. If quietly standing for 3 hours is the reaction they want their music to inspire, then I don't think their hearts are really in it. That would make them artsy and pretentious. They can keep the yuppies on their bandwagon. I'll just jump off to make more room.

    by Manda777 on 7/31/12Skyline Stage at The Mann - Philadelphia

    The show was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! The stars were out, we were sitting on our blanket and just taking in all the greatness of Sigur Ros. It's a memory I'll always keep. I can't even express how amazing these guys were live!

    Sigur Ros = mindblowing

    by shakermaker005 on 7/31/12Skyline Stage at The Mann - Philadelphia

    My 1st time ever seeing SR and I wasn't let down. One of the most amazing shows I've ever seen and I've seen most of the highly praised acts to come out of the last 15 years. Whole night was magic. The only thing I woulda changed was moving the concert into a smaller seated venue like the Academy of Music as Skyline Stage just didn't offer the intimacy to the music that I woulda liked for a band like this. Hope to see them in a smalller venue before A) I die or B) They disband; whichever comes 1st. Cheers.
