SIGUR RÓS

The final leg of the tour begins on 31 August 2026 in Edinburgh and takes in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, France, Spain and Portugal, before concluding with two concerts in Berlin on 20 and 21 September.

The new concerts offer fans a final opportunity to experience this unique performance by Sigur Rós in collaboration with conductor Robert Ames and, in Berlin, with The Young Class X Orchestra and Choir, making these dates another significant milestone in their career.

As part of the tour, they have already performed at some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls and orchestral venues, including London’s Royal Albert Hall, the Sala Santa Cecilia in Rome, the Salle Playel in Paris, Bozar in Brussels, the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City and the Vienna Konzerthaus; they have also collaborated with, amongst others, the London Contemporary Orchestra (LCO), the Wordless Music Orchestra, the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, the Taiwan National Symphony Orchestra, the Resound Collective, the Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Kjartan Sveinsson says: “We are very much looking forward to returning to orchestral concerts in September.


“It’s always something very special to sit in the middle of the orchestra, surrounded by all these fantastic musicians with whom we’ve played over the last four years. Many thanks to everyone who has come to our concerts, to all the musicians and the crew, and a special thank you goes to our conductor and arranger Rob Ames, as well as our principal arranger María Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir.”

In 2023, Sigur Rós decided for the first time to complement their tours with orchestral accompaniment, with the band aiming to put not only themselves but also a number of outstanding orchestras from around the world in the spotlight. Having reunited with keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson in 2022, the band members performed in major concert halls worldwide alongside full orchestras. The performances are as expressive and indescribable as the band itself – a testament to the timeless appeal of Sigur Rós. The final leg of the tour follows a period in which the band’s fans have been treated to a wealth of new music: at the start of the new decade, the band delved deep into their archives to unearth long-awaited works. First, they released “Odin’s Raven Magic” (2020), an orchestral album originally created almost two decades ago, and later reissued “()” to mark its 20th anniversary in 2022. Their first collection of new material in almost a decade, “ÁTTA” (2023), has a strong orchestral feel and features contributions from the London Contemporary Orchestra.

Last September, the band released a special 20th-anniversary edition of their acclaimed album “Takk…” – their major-label debut and the commercial breakthrough for a band that never sought to enter the mainstream.
