As reported previously in the BrooklynVegan, Icelandic rock band Sigur Rós announced their Fall 2024 U.S. tour where they will partner with the 41-piece Wordless Music Orchestra. The eight-date tour will kickoff September 19 in Detroit, Michigan and will cross though to Chicago, Philadelphia, DC and close shop in Austin, Texas on October.
This tour will be a continuation of last summer’s tour with the Wordless Musich Orchestra in promotion of their recent album Átta. Their first album in 10 years following their 2013 album Kveikur. This is also the first album since 2012’s Valtari to long-time keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson, who rejoined the band in 2022.
In a press release of the tour, band has stated “This will be the first-time we have played with an orchestra in these particular cities and for these new dates, we will once again enlist the Wordless orchestra, the exception being Detroit, where we will be joined by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
