SIGUS RÓS announce the final dates of their epic world tour that sees them collaborating with The Ulster Orchestra, bringing their latest album ÁTTA to life alongside favourites from their extensive catalogue.
The new shows will be the last chance for fans to see this unique performance from SIGUR RÓS in collaboration with conductor Robert Ames and local orchestras, making these dates another important milestone in their career.
The band’s Kjartan Sveinsson says: “We’re excited to be going back to the orchestral shows in September. It is always very special to sit in the middle of an orchestra surrounded by all these fantastic players we have played with the past four years. Thanks to everyone that has come to our shows, all the players, the crew and a special thanks to our conductor and arranger Rob Ames and our main arranger María Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir.”
In 2023, SIGUR RÓS set upon having orchestral accompaniment as part of their tours, with the band wanting to put a spotlight on a series of phenomenal orchestras around the world, not just themselves. Having reunited with keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson in 2022, the members played alongside full orchestras in grand concert halls worldwide. The performances are simultaneously as expressive and indescribable as the band themselves, all a testament to the timeless pull of SIGUR RÓS.
With close to ten million albums sold, SIGUR RÓS stands as one of the most ambitious and acclaimed bands of recent times, whose new artistic endeavours only points towards an expansive, exciting future.
