The Line of Best Fit
Sigur Rós will be headlining this year’s Iceland Airwaves.
Returning to the festival for the first time in 11 years, their closing performance at the new Laugardalshöll Arena on Sunday 4 November will be Sigur Rós’ first hometown show in 4 years and promises to feature an expanded 11 piece line-up who will be pulling material from the band’s entire catalogue. I guess what we’re getting at is this will be pretty special.
Tickets for the performance will go on sale next Wednesday (16 May) at 12 noon (GMT) via midi.is. For more information on ticket prices and packages head here.
