Following their Átta album last June, iconic Icelandic band Sigur Rós have announced dates for their Australian tour in May 2025.
The ‘Orchestral Tour’ will kick off in Adelaide on Saturday, May 17th, then head to Melbourne’s Harner Hall for two shows on Monday, May 19th and Tuesday, May 2oth, three shows in Sydney from Friday, May 23rd until Sunday, May 25th, before commencing in Brisbane on Tuesday, May 27th at QPAC Concert Hall.
The tour supports the bands latest album, Átta, which was recorded at the revered Abbey Road Studios. On Àtta, the band incorporate grand instrument arrangements (with a 32-piece orchestra), focusing on the world post-COVID.
The album is the 10th year anniversary of Sigur Rós’s Kveikur album, which marked a significant shift in their music at the time. The change was received well by fans globally though, charting in multiple countries, leading the band to appear in Game of Thrones and The Simpsons.
Presale tickets for the ‘Orchestral Tour’ go on sale Wednesday, October 2nd at 10am (local time), with general tickets available from Friday, October 4th at 10am (local time).
Recently, Sigur Ròs have taken Àtta to the world’s biggest stages including Gastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Coachella, and were last in Australia two years ago for their previous headline show.
Known for creating emotional experiences through their music, Sigur Ròs have been widely celebrated since their debut album in 1997. Their second LP, Ágætis byrjun, which released in 1999, was declared as Iceland’s album of the century, and catapulted them into international limelight.
