Win tickets to see Sigur Ros on Saturday at Asheville’s U.S. Cellular Center

Share

There’s been a run of great music arriving in Asheville lately (and there’s always more to come), but a lot of folks are excited about Sigur Ros playing the U.S. Cellular Center in Asheville on Saturday.

You can buy tickets to Sigur Ros here.

You can win tickets here by leaving a comment  in the comments section of this blog post.

Need to know more about Sigur Ros? Here’s a tidbit from a recent edition of Indy Week:

Sigur Rós has reached these strange new heights by never forsaking the unquenchable power or grandiose textures of their music even as they’ve moved toward more conventional song structures. This year’s excellent Kveikur pushes back into the stratosphere, with pieces that hang again like mighty amoeboid monsters, waiting to overtake any new space they find. Let’s hope municipal officials ease off decibel limits for a night, so that one of the best live bands in the world can rattle the city. —Grayson Haver Currin

This is going to be an amazing night!

I remember seeing Jonsi at Moogfest and I have been hoping for a stop by the always stunning Sigur Ros! I read they will be playing with a large touring band as well, so I’m sure the sound will be incredibly full inside the space.

Orton September 23, 2013 - 3:52 pm

DUH!

Carolyn Ashworth September 23, 2013 - 3:51 pm

PICK ME!

Adam September 23, 2013 - 3:50 pm

Was hoping to see Sigur Ros, but not too pleased with the remaining seats available so haven’t pulled the trigger.

Now if I could win them, that would be quite a birthday present. 🙂

Though the show won’t be quite as intimate as the 2001 show in Philadelphia where I saw them the first time. 🙂

Nicole September 23, 2013 - 3:47 pm

Chris September 23, 2013 - 3:46 pm

Lucky enough to Sigur Ros about seven years ago in Raleigh- would love to see them again.

Larry Berardi September 23, 2013 - 3:44 pm
