Jónsi

The Sigur Rós front man steps out from the shadows with a solo live show already described by Pitchfork as "seriously epic" (on the basis of a few models of what's going be on offer).

The Sigur Rós front man steps out from the shadows with a solo live show already described by Pitchfork as "seriously epic" (on the basis of a few models of what's going be on offer). In fact the world's second most famous Icelander* will be over-reaching even the vast ambition of a Sigur Rós live extravaganza with a show designed by 59 Productions which promises to be unlike any previously seen in a rock show. Wild animals, burning buildings, Biblical storms, gradual rejuvenation and ultimate redemption, are all on offer in what promises to be a major theatrical performance.

Jónsi will be joined for the shows by a new band of handpicked young musicians, under the tutelage of arranger and "hottest young composer in the world" (Telegraph), Nico Muhly. The show will comprise everything from Jónsi's eagerly awaited new album, plus additional exclusive material never before heard anywhere.
