Sigur Rós: iceland tour confirmed

«we are pleased to announce that in addition to the free outdoor reykjavík concert on july 30th, the band will go on a long-awaited iceland tour, beginning in a couple of weeks. they will be playing eight small dates across the icelandic countryside at the end of july and beginning of august, all of which will be free of admission. these are very low key dates and we will not be listing them on the site, although those attending the reykjavík show may find a few clues as to their whereabouts. all the iceland dates will be being recorded and filmed for a future dvd release.»



«we can now announce that on friday july 28th at 10pm, sigur rós will hold a free outdoor concert in a field near háls in öxnadalur valley in north iceland (about 30 minutes west of akureyri). this concert, as well as the outdoor concert in reykjavík, is open for so all sigur rós encourage families and the elderly in particular to drop by and enjoy a cozy evening with them under the midnight sun.»

«because no tickets are sold to the free july 30th reykjavík concert in miklatún park, we would like to announce the showtimes here: amiina will start the show at 8:45pm and sigur rós will enter the stage at 10:00pm. parking spots at kringlan, perlan, austurbæjarskóli and iðnskólinn will be open for concert guests (5 min walk to the park). the concert will be broadcast live to the national film theatre in london, as well as to the icelandic tv station sjónvarpið where you will be able to listen/watch through a live stream. finally, for the foreigners travelling to iceland for the show, we’d like to point out the iceland travel thread on the message board, where travel advice can be exchanged.»
