Sigur Rós are scheduled to perform at the Edinburgh Playhouse on August 31, 2026, at 5:30 PM. Renowned for their ethereal soundscapes and emotionally resonant live performances, Sigur Rós have become a staple in the indie rock scene, captivating audiences worldwide with their unique musical style. The Icelandic band will bring their distinctive atmospheric music to Edinburgh, creating an unparalleled live experience that is not to be missed. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit the venue's official website directly.
Sigur Rós are touring Mexico, Canada, US, EU and UK with their unique world tour that sees them collaborating with local orchestras and conductor Robert Ames, bringing their latest album ÁTTA to life alongside favourites from their extensive catalogue, including songs from Takk…, the band’s much loved album which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Since 2022, Sigur Rós have established orchestral accompaniment as their standard method of touring. Reuniting with keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson, the members played alongside full orchestras in grand concert halls across Europe and North America. The band enlisted the Wordless Music Orchestra for their Stateside dates, where they performed new material as well as favorites from their extensive catalog. Described as “an articulation of beauty almost beyond comprehension” (Dallas Observer), the performances are simultaneously as expressive and indescribable as Hopelandic, all a testament to the timeless pull of Sigur Rós.

🎤 Performer
Sigur Rós is an Icelandic post-rock band that formed in 1994 in Reykjavík. It comprises lead vocalist and guitarist Jón Þór "Jónsi" Birgisson, bassist Georg Hólm, and keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson. Known for their ethereal sound, frontman Jónsi's falsetto vocals, and their use of bowed guitar, Sigur Rós incorporate classical and minimal aesthetic elements. Jónsi's vocals are sung in Icelandic and non-linguistic vocalisations the band terms Vonlenska. They have released eight studio albums, and attracted critical and commercial attention with their second album Ágætis byrjun.
