Sigur Rós announce European tour with local orchestras – including London Royal Albert Hall residency
Sigur Rós have announced a UK and European tour where they’ll perform with local orchestras, including a London residency – find all the details below.
The Icelandic trio are set to perform in “some of the world’s most iconic orchestral venues” where they’ll showcase their 2023 album ‘ÁTTA’ alongside tracks from their extensive catalogue.
Sigur Rós wrapped up a North American orchestral tour earlier this month. In November, they’ll kick off the Nordic leg ahead of further shows in Asia and Australia before heading to Europe and the UK next September.
The latter stint will include a four-night residency at the historic Royal Albert Hall in London (September 30, October 1, 2, 3), marking their first-ever appearance at the venue.
The band are due to be joined by and performing with the London Contemporary Orchestra (LCO), and all shows will be conducted by Robert Ames.

Last October, the trio followed ‘ÁTTA’ up with a special version of the record titled ‘ÁTTA Heimr Edition’.
In a four-star review of the original album, NME wrote that ‘ÁTTA’ is “a record that gives Sigur Rós plenty more reason to exist in adding some pure and natural soul to this cold and unfeeling world”.
This summer saw Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi release his fourth solo studio album, ‘First Light’.
