Sigur Rós are heading out on a Summer 2023 tour across Europe and North America with a 41-piece orchestra in support of their first studio album in 10 years.

Kicking off on June 16th with an appearance at UK’s Meltdown Festival, the trek will also hit cities including Paris, Toronto, New York City, and more before wrapping in Los Angeles on August 27th. In the UK/Europe, they’ll be accompanied by the London Contemporary Orchestra, while in North America, they’ll perform with the Wordless Music Orchestra.

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 24th at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster, with a Live Nation pre-sale occurring on Thursday, March 23rd (use access code OPENER).

In addition to these orchestral shows, Sigur Rós will play a number of European festivals. Find the band’s full schedule below, and grab tickets to all of their upcoming shows here.

Sigur Rós’ as-yet-untitled new album, their first in 10 years, is slated to arrive in June. Recording sessions took place at Abbey Road studios with The London Contemporary Orchestra.

Last October, Sigur Rós celebrated the 20th anniversary of their third studio album, ( ), with a new reissue. The band’s last album was 2020’s Odin’s Raven Magic, an orchestral LP they originally recorded in the early 2000s. In October 2021, frontman Jónsi shared a surprise solo album called Obsidian.
