Sigur Ros Announce North American Tour

Sigur Rós announced a North American Tour to support of their forthcoming full-length, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (English translation: with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly), hitting stores on June 24th on XL Recordings. The dates, which begin on September 17th at New York City's United Palace Theatre, will see the band playing some of the most prestigious venues in the country, including a show at Denver's Red Rocks Amphitheatre. A pre-sale will begin for fans today, June 20th, at 9 am EST via the band's website, www.sigurros.com. A general on-sale will take place on June 27th.

Sigur Rós recently performed a handful of live shows in North America this month, taking the band from Mexico to this year's Bonnaroo Festival, to New York City, where they played two very amazing, very special shows, including one at the Museum of Modern Art. Mixing classic, fan-favorites from their critically-acclaimed catalogue with new songs from the brilliant Med Sud..., Sigur Rós live show is the best it s ever been. The shows this Fall will see the band comprised of Jón Thor Birgisson (vocals, guitar), Georg Holm (bass), Kjartan Sveinsson (keyboards/piano), and Orri Páll Dýrason (drums) performing as a four-piece for the first time in almost ten years.
