Icelandic post-rock hereos Sigur Rós have announced an extensive North American tour, including a Denver date.
The band will play Denver’s Paramount Theatre on September 27. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 8 at 10 a.m. via , with a presale available to those who sign up for the band’s kicking off at 10 a.m. on April 5.
For the first time in the band’s history, Sigur Rós will not bring a support act on tour. Instead, the band will play two sets of unrecorded music to be featured on an upcoming album.
The band explained the change in approach for their latest tour in a release:
This time, in addition to playing songs you know, we wanted to remember the seat-of-your-pants feeling experienced in the wake of “ágætis byrjun”, when for two years we formed and re-formed the songs that would go on to be the ( ) album live in front of people, night after night. All we can say right now is it’s going to be different, with new unreleased songs, a new show and maybe some other *new* things. Beyond that, we can only ask you to trust us on this one.
