Sigur Rós are pleased to announce that in November they will return to the US and Canada. These shows, along with their EU/UK dates in September and October, are the final leg of their unique world tour that sees them collaborating with local orchestras and conductor Robert Ames, bringing their latest album ÁTTA to life alongside favourites from their extensive catalogue, including songs from Takk…, the band’s much loved album which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. A new orchestral version of “Andvari” from the album, recorded live with Elja Ensemble at Harpa in Reykjavik in December 2024, is available today; this includes a visualizer for the track as well. This kicks off a year of celebration of Takk… which will include limited edition physical sets, digital releases, and more. Registration for presale is already underway here; general on-sale tickets will also be available at said link.

Since 2022, Sigur Rós have established orchestral accompaniment as their standard method of touring. Reuniting with keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson, the members played alongside full orchestras in grand concert halls across Europe and North America. The band enlisted the Wordless Music Orchestra for their Stateside dates, where they performed new material as well as favorites from their extensive catalog. Described as “an articulation of beauty almost beyond comprehension” (Dallas Observer), the performances are simultaneously as expressive and indescribable as Hopelandic, all a testament to the timeless pull of Sigur Rós.
