Sigur Rós is an Icelandic post-rock band from Reykjavík. They are back with their latest world tour. Coming to Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo on 14th November 2022.

Formed in 1994. This experimental Icelandic group first came to mainstream attention with the release of their second album, Agaetis Byrjun. In particular with the single Svefn-g-englar.

Combining the traditional instruments of the rock band with some novel playing techniques. They manage to create an incredibly fragile, complex and unique sound. With a sparseness and atmosphere that evokes strong imagery of their homeland.

The band’s third album, cryptically entitled ( ), contained the song Untitled 4. Which many will recognise as the music which tracked Tom Cruise’s gravity-defying leap in the film Vanilla Sky.

More recently the band recorded and performed original music for a modern dance piece, Split Sides, which was produced by legendary New York choreographer Merce Cunningham.
