You can buy tickets to Sigur Ros here.

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

    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.

    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. 🙂
